119. Hazrat Miyan Nemat RZ narrates that a seeker of Truth, who
had a wealthy father, proposed to marry the daughter of the
Miyan RZ . The Miyan RZ said, “I will give my daughter in marriage to
a person whose clothes are full of patches, that is, the person should
be a perfect seeker of Allah.”
120. Hazrat Miyan Syed Khundmir RZ too had married his
daughters to the indigents (fuqara) of the daira.
121. Hazrat Miyan Nemat RZ had married two of his daughters to
the indigents of the daira, who were not his equals. Companions of
Imam Mahdi AS criticised him for this. The Miyan RZ said, “I did not
see their genealogy but I considered their religiosity and I acted in
accordance with this Quranic Verse: “…Verily, the noblest of you,
worthy of honour in the sight of Allah is he who is the most upright
in character…” 58
122. Hazrat Miyan Syed Khundmir RZ took Hazrat Miyan Adil
Shah RZ to task when the latter married his daughter to a seeker of
the world and it was on the basis of this that the Shah RZ was
expelled from the daira.
123. Further, he was very unhappy with Miyan Qutbuddin and he
did not see his face and talk to him for a few months. The reason
was that he had married his daughters to seekers of the world. He
said, “We can marry their daughters. But we should not give our
daughters to them in marriage because Imam Mahdi AS has called
the seekers of the world as kafirs (infidels).”
124. Hazrat Miyan Larh Shah RZ has narrated that Imam Mahdi AS
was returning from the Jama’ Masjid in Khorasan. On the way was
the house of a Khorasani. He had repeatedly invited the Imam AS to
visit his house and every time the Imam AS asked to be forgiven.
After many entreaties, the Imam AS allowed some of his companions
to go to his house. The companions went but Hazrat Miyan
Dilawar RZ did not go. Hazrat Miyan Syed Salamullah RZ did not like
this and asked him, “Why did you not come with us? You

disobeying the orders of the Imam AS .” The Imam AS peeped out from
his hujra and said, “Those who went, had gone with my permission.
Those who did not go did very well.”
125. Hazrat Miran Syed Mahmood RZ is narrated to be staying in
the Bhilot village. Many of the muhajirin too were staying in the
same daira. A conformist (musaddiq) persistently invited Hazrat
Miyan Syed Salamullah RZ to come to his house as a guest. Miyan
Salamullah RZ said, “If Miran Syed Mahmood RZ were to listen to
this, he would take me to task and defame me.” The host said,
“Come after the Maghrib prayers and, returning soon, join the ‘Isha
prayers in the daira here.” Then he started going with the host.
Hazrat Bandagi Miyan Somar RZ who was a companion of Imam
Mahdi AS was in-charge of the main gate of the daira. He asked,
“Where is your eminence going?” Bandagi Miyan Syed
Salamullah RZ asked the host to take him also with him. “Otherwise,
the news would soon reach Bandagi Miran RZ and I would be
expelled from the daira,” said Salamullah RZ . The host and Miyan
Salamullah RZ did all that was necessary to take Miyan Somar RZ
with them. They rode a horse-cab to reach the house of the host.
They had their meals there. It was the tasmiah khwani (celebration
of making the child recite Bismillah) of the daughter of the host.
They hurried back to catch the first rak’at (cycle) of the ‘Isha
prayers’ congregation. It was the habit of Miyan Somar RZ to go to
the hujra of Bandagi Miran RZ and serve him and massage his hands
and legs. On that day, he reached the hujra late and told the
complete story of the tasmiah khwani. Bandagi Miran RZ was very
unhappy. He wept the whole night. Later in the morning, he took
Miyan Salamullah RZ to task and said, “I will not give you any
respect (due to you) if you repeat such things and I will expel you
from the daira.” Miyan Salamullah RZ did not come before Bandagi
Miran RZ for about a month and a half. He was ashamed and did not
show his face. Then he put his turban around his neck and fell on
the feet of Bandagi Miran RZ and said, “Please forgive me for this
mistake for the sake of Allah.” Miyan Syed Salamullah RZ was the
uncle of Miran Syed Mahmood RZ who had emulated the Imam AS so
