168. Miyan Ladh Shah RZ said, “There is only a moment’s comfort (in marriage) with a woman.
Why do you toil so much for a moment’s comfort. Life would pass in any condition.”
169. Makhdoom Syed Muhammad Gesudaraz RH said, “For a woman, one becomes dependant on
the entire world. If it weren’t so, one would be at peace.”
170. Miyan Nizam Ghalib RZ said, “If one who takes to the path of Allah is courageous, it is easy.
If he is not courageous, it is difficult. A free man does not turn towards two things in life / So
that he is free of difficulties / He will not love a woman even if the daughter of Qaiser
(Caesar) is given / He will not take a loan even if it is given with the promise of the
Hereafter.”
171. Miyan Syed Khundmir RZ said, “This servant was alone. He reached the charity (sadaqa) of
Mahdi AS .”
172. Hazrat Mahdi AS said, “Initially Allah will not be happy with the seeker of Allah until he takes
his desire to its virtuous objective. If the result of his desire is virtuous, then Allah becomes
happy with him.”
173. Hazrat Mahdi AS said that a person who was disrespectful, shameless and dishonest would not
reach Allah.
174. Two brothers repented before Hazrat Mahdi AS . They were in severe distress. They did not
even have proper clothes. Hazrat Mahdi AS thought that if Allah gave something he would
pass it on to them. At the time of equal distribution of donations (sawaiyet) he forgot them.
Allah’s command came, “O Syed Muhammad! We have accepted them in this very
condition.” Hazrat Mahdi AS conveyed this to them. They were very happy and said that that
very condition was better. A few days later Allah sent some clothes. Allah’s command came
that the clothes be given to the two young men. Hazrat Mahdi AS called them and gave them
the clothes. They requested that the clothes not be given. Hazrat Mahdi AS said, “You accept
(Allah’s wish). Allah’s command was that in your favour then, and now the command is like
this.”
175. A brother came to Hazrat Mahdi AS and said that the remembrance of Allah (zikr) does not
persist (qaim) in the heart. Hazrat AS told him to keep trying. He came again and said that the
remembrance of Allah does not persist in the heart. Hazrat Mahdi AS said, “Go and sleep in
the room (hujra). Allah Himself will give you the ta’lim (instruction).”
176. A Peer (preceptor) and his Murid (disciple) went to Makkah together. The Peer laid his
musalla (prayer mat) on water and said, “I will say Allah, Allah. You say Peer, Peer.” They
had traveled some distance when the Murid too started saying “Allah, Allah”. He plunged
into the water and sank. He again said Peer, Peer and came up. Someone narrated this
narration before Hazrat Mahdi AS . He AS said, “Why did he not allow himself to sink? Had he
sank in the name of Allah he would have become a Shaheed (martyr).”
