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

8
some people asked, “Miyanji, why do you do this? He renounced the world and made the
efforts to migrate. He should be shown some favour.” He replied, “How can I?” After a few
months, one night the Shah RZ went to his grave, recited fatiha and said, “Allah commands,
‘O Miyan Nizam, We have pardoned him through the sanctity of your friendship with him.’”
10. Mother of Believers (Ummul Momineen) Aisha Siddiqa RZ says that whenever she noticed
that Rasoolullah SLM was on an empty stomach she said, “O Rasoolullah SLM , my life be
sacrificed on you, your stomach is empty.” He replied that all prophets lived like this.
11. Bibi Aisha RZ said that they did not eat a full meal of even barley bread at any time during the
lifetime of Rasoolullah SLM . She said, “It is our irreligiousity (bey-deeni) that we now eat
belly-full.”
12. One day Rasoolullah SLM saw a ring on the finger of Bibi Fatima RZ . Tears flooded his eyes
and he went into prostration. He said, “O Lord, I don’t have love for this world. Why did
Fatima do this?” On hearing this, Bibi Fatima RZ removed the ring and sent it to the
Prophet SLM . He distributed (the money obtained after selling it) amongst the Fuqara.
13. Allah had sent two shirts (kurta) to Bibi Fatima RZ , one new and the other old. The Bibi RZ
gave the new one in the way of Allah and wore the old one. Rasoolullah SLM heard this and
said if she had not done this, he would not have called her his daughter.
14. Once Rasoolullah SLM came to Fatima’s RZ house during the night and called her. The Bibi RZ
answered him. The Prophet SLM asked her, “Are you sleeping?” The Bibi RZ answered, “I am
performing duganas (two rak’at prayers) and explaining to Hassan and Hussain.” He said if
she had not done this, he would not have called her his daughter.
15. One night Imam Hussain RZ came to the Ka’aba and supplicated with much weeping. Khwaja
Hasan Basri RH heard the sound of crying and thought that perhaps it was some sinner who
wept that much. When he came and saw that it was Imam Hussain RZ . He said, “O loved one
of the Prophet SLM , why do you weep this much?” Imam Hussain RZ replied, “When this verse
‘And warn your nearest relations’ 6 has been revealed to Rasoolullah SLM , I cannot be without
worry.”
16. A servant of Allah died. From among the Auliya-Allah (Saints of Allah), one Vali (saint) saw
that both his legs were tied together with a chain. The Vali asked why his legs were tied to
one place. The man replied that once he did not attend congregational prayers despite being
healthy. Hence, he was undergoing this.
17. One day in the daira of Miyan Shah Dilawar RZ there were two equal distributions (sawaiyet)
at one time. Miyan Shah Dilawar RZ said, “We have been included among worthless people.”
On hearing this, the brothers lamented very much and said, “Allah has given us the
compensation for our devotion in this world itself. Today the sawaiyet was distributed
twice.” Such were the seekers of Allah.
