requested that if the Imam AS agrees, he would like to accompany the Imam AS . But Hazrat AS
did not reply.
If my lover were to come to the market suddenly
Whoever is a man of heart would have become a buyer
If fire-worshippers and believers see his locks and his face
Then the believer would get tired of Islam and the fire-worshipper of disbelief (kufr)
When I went to the Ka’aba I placed my head in prostration
It get the smell of zunnar 64 from these religious leaders (mashayakheen).
283. When Shaikh Sadruddin RZ became a follower of the Imam AS in the city of Thatta, the slave of
Jam, whose name was Dilshad, got angry and told Jam, “Sadruddin has chosen the slavery of
Syed Muhammad in your city and Syed Muhammad claims to be the Mahdi. You be alert
and plan quickly.” Jam asked, “What should I do?” Dilshad said, “There are hardly seventy
or eighty people with him. And not every one of them is armed. If you command, I will arrest
and bring them here. You shouldn’t delay. Darya Khan has rebelled against you.” Jam said,
“We should send some respectable persons to them and ask them to leave the country. If they
don’t, we will send an army.” On Jam’s instructions, some respectable people went and
conveyed this message. The Imam AS reflected (tawajjoh) on this and said, “Allah commands,
‘You should not leave it till We command. We have given this country to you. The Fuqara
are tired. If the rebels attack you, go outside the daira and fight against them and see how
they will run away. It is this that was the miracle of your grand-father (Prophet
Muhammad SLM ).’” When this news was received, a Sindhi placed his bow before the king
and said, “Darya Khan has not removed rebellion from his heart as yet.” The king found this
advice to be sensible. He said, “I have not heard any talk of rebellion from Darya Khan. I do
not believe this complaint.” After this he sent word to Darya Khan to prepare his army and
bring it as he (the king) wished to consult him. Darya Khan told his son, “I will go alone.
When I send word, prepare the army and remain separate. I will not be disloyal to the
progeny of Rasool SLM just because Jam says so.” Saying this, Darya Khan went to Jam. He
learnt of the conversation with the Imam and said, “O Jam, it is meaningless that the king
should fight the fuqara. Issue the order and my son Ahmad Khan would be sufficient for
this.” Jam asked him to hurry. Darya Khan sent word to his son to quickly prepare the army
and bring it. Ahmad Khan heard this command and did exactly as his father had told him to
do. After this Dilshad told Jam in solitude, “What I had told has happened.” After this Jam
said, “Whatever is destined to happen will happen. But I will not make flanks of soldiers and
fight the Syed. If he leaves the city on his own, it is good. Otherwise our kingship is gone.”
After this Dilshad got an announcement made that no shopkeeper should sell grains to the
people of the Imam AS and they should keep their shops closed. Two or three days later, the
Imam AS came to know of this. He said, “Allah commands that We have given this country
(Mulk) to you. Get the shops opened on the fourth day.” Immediately, the companions
hurried and issued this command. After this, Jam’s people sent word to the Imam AS , “If you
think it appropriate, please stay at our abode. Otherwise, embark on the ship and go to some
other place.” Imam AS gave attention to it, reflected (tawajjoh) for a while and said, “The
command has come (from Allah) to board the ship. Bring the ship.” They brought the ship
