Some example of the Majzoobs and their virtues…
1. Mentioned in Arwaa-e-Thalatha from Tazkiratul-Rasheed that, “In
Lahori province, a Punjabi Majzoob (recluse) used to reside. Haji
Abdur-Rahim Sahib who was a resident of the same locality, set
out on a journey to visit Haramain-Shareefain (Mecca and Medina)
by ship. On the journey, a glass fell down into the sea from
Hazrat’s (Abdur-Rahim) hand. In just a while, a hand appeared
from the sea holding the glass and disappeared as soon as Hazrat
took the glass. In Lahori, the Majzoob said to the servants of
Abdur-Rahim, ‘A glass had fallen from the hands of your Haji
Sahib. It was me who gave it back to him’. When Haji Abdur-
Rahim returned from Hajj, he was informed of this saying of the
Majzoob. Haji Abdur-Rahim said that the incident was true, but
he was unable to recognize whose hand it was. 397
2. Moulana Zakariyah says, “One of my trusted friends narrated
an event of a scribe of Lukhnow (a city in India) who was habitual
of writing Darood (blessings on Allah’s Messenger ) one time on
a small notebook every morning before the start of his work. He
was much worried at the time of his death and said, ‘I do not
know how would I be treated.’ By chance a Majzoob (a saint
totally absorbed in divine meditation) passed by him and on
seeing his condition, he said, ‘Do not worry. The notebook has
been presented before the Holy Prophet and is being accepted by
him.’” 398
