Chapter EightAlso, if anybody wished to speak privately or ask him a questionĤađrat met him by appointment. Shaikh Nażīr Aĥmad, teacher ofhadith in ‘Dār al-‘Ulūm, Faisalabad, organized two gathering inwhich Ĥađrat granted the attending scholars permission to narratehadiths and then presented them with certificates.After Fajr on Eid day, Ĥađrat treated everyone with dates andwater and narrated the hadith Musalsal bi Yaum al-Eid and the hadithMusalsal bi al-‘Aswadain 37 and then granted everyone permission tonarrate the aforementioned hadiths.The organizers and workers strove hard and with sincerity toserve and take care of the needs of the guests. They put their bestefforts to ensure that the needs of the guest were met and thattheir stay was a comfortable one. They sacrificed their own restfor the comfort and rest of their guests, gaining the very specialdu‘ās of Ĥađrat. In such a large gathering, you find every typeof person, people with different temperaments and tastes. Undersuch circumstances, it is not easy to keep every person happy, buttheir dedication was truly exemplary. They cared for their guestsgraciously, openheartedly and with true love and sincerity.Besides ifţār, guests were offered a variety of curries and otherdelectables at both meal times. Judging by the different dishes onthe mats, one would think the food had been prepared for v.i.pguests. I have attended many wedding banquets, but have neverobserved anything like the serenity, the honor and respect towardsguests, and the sincerity and love of the hosts as on the mats of theelders.37 Musalsal bi Yaum al-Eid - A tradition carried on amongst hadith scholarsregarding a hadith which the Blessed Prophet s narrated on the day of Eid. TheŚaĥāba l who heard that hadith from the Blessed Prophet s also narrated it onthe day of Eid, and likewise this tradition continues to our time.Musalsal bi al-‘Aswadain - A tradition amongst hadith scholars regarding ahadith which the Blessed Prophet s narrated after which he served the Śaĥābīg/Śaĥāba l with dates and water. Then the same Śaĥābī g narrated thathadith to his students and served them with dates and water and likewise thistradition continues to our time.51
the ramadan of shaikh muĤ ammud zakariyyĀFrom my hometown of Ludhiāna [Punjab, India], Hājī Ismā‘īl[aka Pehlwān] and Hājī Ibrāhīm came with wife and children toserve the guests of Ĥađrat for the whole month. At the ifţār, he putbutter-filled dates in the mouth of the guests with his own handsand followed up on their needs and presented them with fruitsand sweets. May Allah u grant all of them the best of returns andbless them and increase them in their sincerity.Our elders believed it was necessary for the scholars of the Dinto purify their hearts of the filth resulting from evil traits and fill itinstead with the remembrance of Allah u . Until this was done theybelieved that he would be deprived of the blessings of the knowledgeof Dīn, and would not derive the maximum benefit from it. Such ascholar, in their view, was not credible and was wish-washy.All of our elders followed the path of taśawwuf and served theirown shaikh in this path. Once they completed their sulūk, theybecame the epitome of Shari‘a and taśawwuf in their words andstate, externally and internally; and this was the trademark of ourgreat 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 anddespised the innovations while the qualities of iĥsān (perpetualconsciousness 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 mostoutstanding 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 themorning for Gangoh by foot, pray Jumu‘a behind Ĥađrat Gangohī,and return at night. Since he had classes the next morning inDeoband, the strength of will that drove him to walk 28 miles inone day exemplifies his fervor and love for Dīn. When he came inĤađrat’s gathering he sat down quietly amongst the people in thegathering. Once Ĥađrat Gangohī said of him: Maulwī MaĥmūdĤasan is the essence of knowledge.52
