Naqliyat-e-Miyan Syed Alam RH (English) - Khalifatullah Mehdi

18
that Allah had given him such taste of zikr (remembrance of Allah) that all other tastes have
become haram (prohibited).
90. One day, some people said to Miyan Dilawer RZ , “What do you say about religious
discussions after the prayers?” Hazrat RZ replied, “Have religious discussion and do the Bayan
of Quran because this servant has heard that Bayan-e-Quran and religious discussion can be
done by the person who has permission from Allah, Rasool SLM , Mahdi AS and his Murshid.
This servant grants you permission.” He further said, “Maintain the respect to the
companions of Mahdi AS and do not do the bayan at the time of zuhr, do it at the time of asr.”
91. Once, Nizam-ul-Mulk came to the daira of Miyan Dilawer RZ . It was the time for prayers and
the brothers were seated on the prayer mats. There was no vacant place. A person by the
name of Miyan Amman got up and gave his place to the latecomer. When Miyan Dilawer RZ
learnt of this, he caught hold of his hand (Miyan Amman’s) and sent him out of the daira.
92. Someone told Miyan Dilawer RZ , “Nizam-ul-Mulk comes here with lot of reverence. But
whenever he comes, he gives forty or fifty hoons 21 and when he holds his court with soldiers
he spends seven hundred or a thousand. What is this matter?” Hazrat replied, “Allah knows
and sends whatever is chastely permitted (halal-e-tayyab) to his servants and whatever is
haram (prohibited) goes in the place of haram.”
93. Miyan Dilawer RZ said, “All the practice (ravish) of the time of Hazrat Mahdi AS has turned
upside down during the time of this servant.”
94. At the time of the call of shahidi 22 , Miyan Bhai Mahajir RZ said in Gojri dialect, “Also my
Mahdi AS , also my Mahdi AS , also my Mahdi AS .”
95. Bandagi Miyan Syed Khundmir Siddiq-e-Vilayet RZ saw a reverie. He related it before Miyan
Shah Dilawer RZ and said, “I saw that the hair of the head of seven Muzaffars were in the
hand of this servant.” Bandagi Miyan Dilawer RZ answered, “It results in the meaning that due
to you his seven generations will be kept away from belief (Iman).”
96. Once there was great distress (iztirar) in the presence of Hazrat Mahdi AS . At that time
Bandagi Miyan Dilawer RZ had only a tehmad 23 and the rest of his body was not covered.
Bandagi Miyan Syed Khundmir RZ wore a tattered coat and had tied a piece of rope on his
head, as he did not have any other cloth to tie around his head.
97. Hazrat Mahdi AS said that the person who possesses six attributes should do Bayan-e-Quran –
three are manifest and three immanent. The manifest attributes are 1) he should trust only on
Allah, 2) he refrains from going to the doorstep of others and 3) he distributes the sawaiyet
justly. The immanent attributes are 1) he sees Allah with the eyes of his head, 2) he is aware
of the condition of the living man and the dead body and 3) he treats gold and dust as equal.
21 Gold coins.
22 The dictionaries do not give an appropriate meaning of shahidi. The construction of the sentence indicates that it has
nothing to do with evidence, testification or martyrdom. It is probably a bird. Hazrat Bhai Muhajir RZ ’s interpretation
appears to be based on the sound of the chirping of the bird. Wallahu ‘Alam. There are other such narratives.
23 Cloth used to cover the lower part of the body.
