Maulwī Radā ‛Alī Sāhib Barelwī was Hadrat’s student. He relates: During my student days, I had taken the responsibility of preparing Hadrat’s tea after his meals. One afternoon I was preparing his tea while it was almost passed his tea-time. I left quickly with the teapot and rushed to the khānqāh. A few friends were sitting on the bed, eating some sweetmeats which Hadrat had given to them. They invited me to join them but, since Hadrat had already partaken of his meal at home and had returned to his room, I proceeded to his room instead. At the same time, I thought to myself: ‘See, Hadrat did not even think of me when he gave sweetmeats to these people.’ After giving Hadrat’s tea to him, I returned to my room and lay down. However, my human weakness constantly made me think that I was Hadrat’s khādim and yet he had forgotten to offer me some sweetmeats! A few moments later Hadrat stood near the Musjid and called for me. I became quite anxious and hurriedly went outside, but I saw Hadrat standing against the Musjid wall with sweetmeats in his hand. When I reached him, he handed the sweetmeats to me saying: ‘Here, eat this.’ Then he returned to his room. I really regretted my thoughts, and for several weeks I felt ashamed of appearing in front of Hadrat. I thought to myself that Hadrat must be thinking that I am a very selfish and greedy person.”
A poet says:
When attendants are not present at the time,
set aside their share and give it to them later.
This is the Sunnah of the best of creations ...
[Muhammad Rasūlullāh sallallahu alayhi wasallam].
Sufi Karam Husayn Sāhib relates: “During my stay in Gangoh, a friend visited me while I was serving as Hadrat’s khādim. When I took him to meet Hadrat, he asked: ‘Why have you come here?’ Usually, when a person goes to visit a buzurg, he expresses himself as though he had come for the sake of Dīn. So my friend replied: ‘I have come to pledge bay‛ah.’ Hadrat was not satisfied with this answer and said: ‘Tell me the truth, what is your motive for coming here?’ He was an honest person and said: ‘Hadrat, the truth is that I am quite troubled over a court case. I have come for your du‛ā’s for success in the court case.’ Hadrat was very impressed by his honesty and, in a pleased tone, he said: ‘Yes, you have now spoken like a true Muslim.’ Hadrat then enquired about the background and nature of the court case and promised to make du‛ā’ for him.
Later on, Hadrat called for him and said: ‘I just completed reciting the Qur’ān and I made du‛ā’ for you. I hope Allāh Ta'ala gives you success.’ This friend stayed over for one day. The following day he said to me: ‘Karam Husayn, I have won the case. Now make me a murīd as well.’ I took him to Hadrat and said: ‘Hadrat, this is my friend. If you accept his bay‛ah, I will consider it to be a favour to me.’ Hadrat initiated him immediately and addressed me thus: ‘I accepted his bay‛ah out of consideration to you, but he will not be able to do anything.’ My friend departed and a few days later I heard that the court had ruled in his favour. However, he was not able to adhere to any of Hadrat’s teachings and instructions.”
Once Hadrat Imām Rabbānī was in Deoband. Maulwī Husayn Sharīf Madrāsī, who was also Hadrat’s student, prepared four cups of tea and, with much enthusiasm, he brought the teapot to Hadrat. He saw that the place was suddenly filled with many people – most of whom were ‛ulamā’ and Maulwī Husayn Sharīf’s teachers. He was at a loss [as there were only four cups of tea]. He did not know to whom he should serve tea to and to whom he should not. Eventually he decided that he would give the tea to the seniors and sneak out quietly. He took the teapot and sat down on the threshold. Hadrat called out: “Maulwī Husayn Sharīf! Start offering the tea from one side.” Although Hadrat’s instruction caused him great concern, he felt it essential to carry out his order. He poured the tea into one cup after the other and began distributing it from one side. There were about twenty to twenty-five people present at the time. They all drank from the tea and when he opened the teapot, there was still some tea left over.
Before departing for his hometown, this same Maulwī Husayn Sharīf Sāhib arrived in Gangoh and said to Hadrat: “I have only twenty-five rupees [in my possession] for my journey and my home is far away. Hadrat gave him two rupees and placed them in his purse. Then Hadrat instructed him not to turn his purse upside-down when taking out any money from it. The Maulwī Sāhib departed and reached his home. When he calculated the amount he had spent during his journey, it worked out to seventy rupees, yet there were still a few rupees left in his purse. [Then] his brother turned the purse upside down and took out all the money. The money was spent, and his purse remained empty.
Hadrat’s nephew, Maulwī ‛Azīz ar-Rahmān Sāhib, relates: “There was a marriage in our family which I attended. After the jumu‛ah salāh, when the nikāh was performed, my relatives insisted that I should distribute the dry dates. I was sitting near Hadrat. I refused, but they persisted. I eventually excused myself by saying that I do not know how to count and distribute. [Then] Hadrat said: ‘So what? Distribute them as you like.’ I got up and started distributing handfuls of dates to all who were present. I was distributing [the dates] amongst those who were present inside the Musjid, while another person was distributing outside the Musjid. When he saw me distributing with both my hands full, he said to me: ‘What are you doing? Don’t give out so many!’ I immediately left the dates and sat down, saying: ‘You see, I told you I cannot count and distribute.’ The number of dates which I was given would not have been enough for all the people. I do not know where the blessings came from, because I distributed them to numerous people and when I stopped distributing, there was still the same amount – or only slightly less.”
Hadrat Imām Rabbānī was in the habit of adjusting all the clocks in his room according to the sundial. On one occasion the weather remained heavily overcast for several days and thus he could not adjust the clocks. Maulwī ‛Alī Radā Sāhib – who was one of Hadrat’s students – relates: “It was partly cloudy during one of those [overcast] days and the sun would appear at times. Hadrat Imām Rabbānī left his room before mid-day, lay down beneath the canopy which was to the left of his room, and said to me: ‘Go and stand next to the sundial and inform me when it is twelve noon.’ I stood next to the sundial. No clouds were covering the sun at the time. The shadow was just about to fall on the line when a long, wide cloud covered the sun. I became nervous and said: ‘Hadrat, the sun has disappeared.’ Hadrat got up immediately, held the watch in his hand and stood near the sundial. The moment he came to stand there, the cloud suddenly moved away. Hadrat adjusted his watch and returned to his room. I was left astounded because the dense clouds had given the impression that the sun would not appear for at least ten to fifteen minutes, but the moment he stood near the sundial, the cloud moved away from the sun and behaved like a woman who lifts the veil from her face.”
Sufi Karam Husayn Sāhib relates: “I was in Hadrat’s presence when I received a letter from a friend. He wrote to me to inform me of his apprehension regarding a court case from which he sees no escape, and he requested that I should ask Hadrat to make du‛ā’ for him. I related this to Hadrat. He enquired about the background of the case with utmost affection. Then he said: ‘You must console him. Inshā Allāh, he will be absolved.’ Subsequently, although he was quite scared and had given up hope [of a positive outcome], he was absolved.”
Munshī Akhtar Jamīl Sāhib relates: “I received a serious subpoena against me. During the course of this case, I had the honour of pledging bay‛ah to Hadrat. Some extremely serious accusations had been leveled against me because of the enmity of some of my opponents. I had lost all hope of freedom [not being convicted]. After pledging bay‛ah to Hadrat, I expressed my distress and despondency to him. Hadrat Imām Rabbānī pondered for some time and said: ‘Continue reading حَسْبُنَا اللهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكيْلَ until the verdict is arrived at. When Hadrat said this, I naturally felt that there would be a delay in the ver
