260. Some companions told Hazrat Mahdi AS , “Two brothers have come to the daira. One remains
in seclusion and the other does not.” Hazrat Mahdi AS said, “See how food reaches them.” The
brothers learnt that the one in seclusion expected that he would eat something. The one who
was not in seclusion had no expectation, but was getting food from the unknown (ghaib).
When this was told to Hazrat Mahdi AS , he said, “The one who does not have expectation is
better since it is the work of prophets to remain in trust upon Allah.”
261. Hazrat Mahdi AS and the migrants RZ heard songs when it came their way. But they did not
desire for it nor did they fix a time for it. They would give whatever they had with them (to
the singers).
262. Hazrat Mahdi AS took the fealty (ba’it) of women in this manner – Hazrat Mahdi AS would take
a bowl of water in his hands and the women would dip their hands in the water.
263. Hazrat Mahdi AS told the brothers, “Be men, so that when others see your behaviour they will
be enamoured by you and will learn that, Glory be to Allah (Subhan Allah), the daira of
Mahdi has such men of religion. Others too will come in the path of Allah. Sometime they
will meet this servant also.”
264. The companions RZ told Hazrat Mahdi AS , “Two brothers have come to the daira. One remains
busy (in remembrance of Allah) after Fajr and the other leaves (from the remembrance of
Allah) early and plays with the children.” Hazrat Mahdi AS said, “Bring him here.” When he
came, Hazrat Mahdi AS asked him, “Why do you leave (early)?” He replied, “The members of
the household have only one cloth which I wear and come to perform prayers. Then I return
home quickly and give the cloth to my wife. She wears it and performs her prayers. I divert
the children towards play so that my wife can perform her prayers to satisfaction.” Hazrat
Mahdi AS said, “All this work is for the sake of Allah.”
265. When Bandagi Miyan Dilawar RZ migrated from any daira, he would complete an incomplete
wall or other such things before leaving and would not leave anything half-done.
266. When Bandagi Miyan Dilawar’s RZ end was near, he said, “Allah commands that all the
people in the daira, except three persons, have been forgiven.”
267. Bandagi Miyan Nizam RZ was sitting at a place near water. The chicks of peacock came to
drink water. Hazrat RZ told (his son) Miyan Abdur Rahman RH , “Can you distinguish between
males and females amongst them?” He replied, “No, I am unable to make out.” Bandagi
Miyan Nizam RZ said, “The ones who walk back without turning from water and do not let
their tails get wet are males. And those that turn around and come out of water with their tails
wet are female. Similarly, the servants of Allah come to this world, do not get their person
(zath) soiled with sins and take back their faith (Iman) safely.”
268. Bandagi Miyan Nizam RZ stayed at a desolate place for a few days. At nightfall he came to the
town. One night he went to the mosque where a stranger asked him, “Who are you?”
Miyan RZ did not reply. The man hit Miyan RZ with a stick. Miyan RZ said, “The beating by the
king is like a bag of sugar.” He then came out and stayed. A man came from nowhere to
Miyan RZ and kept food in front of him. The food was sweet. Miyan gave it to the brothers.
