Chapter Eight Also, if anybody wished to speak privately or ask him a question Ĥađrat met him by appointment. Shaikh Nażīr Aĥmad, teacher of hadith in ‘Dār al-‘Ulūm, Faisalabad, organized two gathering in which Ĥađrat granted the attending scholars permission to narrate hadiths and then presented them with certificates. After Fajr on Eid day, Ĥađrat treated everyone with dates and water and narrated the hadith Musalsal bi Yaum al-Eid and the hadith Musalsal bi al-‘Aswadain 37 and then granted everyone permission to narrate the aforementioned hadiths. The organizers and workers strove hard and with sincerity to serve and take care of the needs of the guests. They put their best efforts to ensure that the needs of the guest were met and that their stay was a comfortable one. They sacrificed their own rest for the comfort and rest of their guests, gaining the very special du‘ās of Ĥađrat. In such a large gathering, you find every type of person, people with different temperaments and tastes. Under such circumstances, it is not easy to keep every person happy, but their dedication was truly exemplary. They cared for their guests graciously, openheartedly and with true love and sincerity. Besides ifţār, guests were offered a variety of curries and other delectables at both meal times. Judging by the different dishes on the mats, one would think the food had been prepared for v.i.p guests. I have attended many wedding banquets, but have never observed anything like the serenity, the honor and respect towards guests, and the sincerity and love of the hosts as on the mats of the elders. 37 Musalsal bi Yaum al-Eid - A tradition carried on amongst hadith scholars regarding a hadith which the Blessed Prophet s narrated on the day of Eid. The Śaĥāba l who heard that hadith from the Blessed Prophet s also narrated it on the day of Eid, and likewise this tradition continues to our time. Musalsal bi al-‘Aswadain - A tradition amongst hadith scholars regarding a hadith which the Blessed Prophet s narrated after which he served the Śaĥābī g/Śaĥāba l with dates and water. Then the same Śaĥābī g narrated that hadith to his students and served them with dates and water and likewise this tradition continues to our time. 51
the ramadan of shaikh muĤ ammud zakariyyĀ From my hometown of Ludhiāna [Punjab, India], Hājī Ismā‘īl [aka Pehlwān] and Hājī Ibrāhīm came with wife and children to serve the guests of Ĥađrat for the whole month. At the ifţār, he put butter-filled dates in the mouth of the guests with his own hands and followed up on their needs and presented them with fruits and sweets. May Allah u grant all of them the best of returns and bless them and increase them in their sincerity. Our elders believed it was necessary for the scholars of the Din to purify their hearts of the filth resulting from evil traits and fill it instead with the remembrance of Allah u . Until this was done they believed that he would be deprived of the blessings of the knowledge of Dīn, and would not derive the maximum benefit from it. Such a scholar, in their view, was not credible and was wish-washy. All of our elders followed the path of taśawwuf and served their own shaikh in this path. Once they completed their sulūk, they became the epitome of Shari‘a and taśawwuf in their words and state, externally and internally; and this was the trademark of our great elders. Their hearts glowed with the love of Allah u, ‘ishq (adoration) of the Blessed Prophet s, the Śaĥāba l and the Auliyā’ Allāh who succeeded them. They were strict upon the Sunna and despised the innovations while the qualities of iĥsān (perpetual consciousness of Allah u), closeness to Allah u, and ikhlāś (sincerity) permeated their every deed. Self-effacement, humility, and self-annihilation [losing awareness of oneself ] were their most outstanding qualities. It says of Shaikh al-Hind [Maĥmūd Ĥasan] in Tazkirat al-Rashīd, For the longest time, Ĥađrat’s routine was to leave early in the morning for Gangoh by foot, pray Jumu‘a behind Ĥađrat Gangohī, and return at night. Since he had classes the next morning in Deoband, the strength of will that drove him to walk 28 miles in one day exemplifies his fervor and love for Dīn. When he came in Ĥađrat’s gathering he sat down quietly amongst the people in the gathering. Once Ĥađrat Gangohī said of him: Maulwī Maĥmūd Ĥasan is the essence of knowledge. 52
