Some
other miracles . 1.
Says Hazart Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki (R.A), " I never saw Hazart
Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (R.A) angry with anyone as long as I remained with him. One
day, Hazart Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (R.A) accompanied me and a servant Shaikh Ali
were going out. Suddenly a man caught hold Shaikh Ali of his clothes and started
abusing him. Hazart Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (R.A) asked the reason of the dispute.
He said " Shaikh Ali is debtor and is not repaying the amount given to him." Khwaja
Sahib (R.A) said, "Leave him. He will repay your debt." But the man again insisted.
So Khwaja Sahib (R.A) got angry and he spread his shawl on the ground and asked
to take from the shawl amount equal to the debt and warned not to take more than
debt. The man picked up the money certainly more than the debt and soon his hand
dried up. So he started crying and asked for mercy. Khwaja Sahib (R.A) pardoned
him and his hand recovered. The man immediately became the disciple of Khwaja
Sahib (R.A). 2.
It said that once Khwaja Sahib (R.A) was passing through a Jungle, some
atheist dacoits came in his way. They used to snatch belonging of travelers and
if the traveler was a Muslim they used to kill him as well. When these decoits
faced Khwaja Sahib (R.A), there happened a miracle, The band of decoits who had
been engaged in looting and killing the people, started trembling with fear, and
fell on the feet of Khwaja Sahib (R.A) and said, "we are your slaves. Be kind
to us" when they repented Khwaja Sahib (R.A) made them recite Kalima and thus
they accepted Islam. Khwaja Sahib (R.A) forbade them for looting and murdering
in the name of the Almighty.
3 . One day, a weeping old woman
came to him and said, "Huzoor, the ruler had killed my innocent son. For God sake,
help me."
Hearing the woman, Khwaja Sahib (R.A) was moved very
much. He with his sceptre in his hand accompanied the old woman. Many followers
and disciples also accompanied him. He arrived at the dead body of the boy, stood
there silently and gazed at it for quite a long time. Then he stepped towards
the body, put his hand on It said, " O boy, if you have been killed innocent,
come to life by the grace of ALLAH." He just completed his sentence, the boy was
alive. Khwaja Sahib (R.A) further said, " The man should be so close to ALLAH
that his prayers are to accepted without any delay. If it is not, then he is not
a Faqir."
4. Though Khwaja Sahib (R.A) had no means of income
but he set up a langerkhana ( alms- house). The food was so abundant there
that all the poor and needy of the city were fed with it. It is said that he directed
the Chief of the alms- house to demand as much money as needed for the langarkana.
The Chief used to come to him daily in the morning. On his arrival Khwaja Sahib
(R.A) used to unfold the corner of his Musalla and asked him to take whatever
required from the hidden treasury. He himself used to keep fast and broke it with
the dried barley bread, weighing not more than five misqal (few grms)
5. A man came to him with the bad intention of killing him and showed
great faith and loyalty to Khwaja Sahib (R.A). But his intention was revealed
to Khwaja Sahib (R.A). So he said, "I am here, Do whatever you desire." Hearing
this, the man started trembling and with great humbleness he told that it was
not his own desire. Some other man wanted him to commit this heinous crime. Then
he took out the dagger, and placed it before Khwaja Sahib (R.A) and asked for
punishment. But Khwaja Sahib (R.A) said, " Revenge is not the practice of the
Saints. Well, I pardon you." The man fell into the feet of Khwaja Sahib (R.A),
repented, accepted Islam and became a disciple.
6. It is said,
during the period of Khwaja Sahib (R.A) stay in Ajmer, the people from far and
nearby, who went for the pilgrimage of Haj, on return used to tell that
they have seen Khwaja Sahib (R.A) circumambulating the Khana-e-Kaaba; while in
fact Khwaja Sahib (R.A) never want for Haj after his stay in Ajmer.
7. Once, Hazrat Khwaja Qutubuddin
Bakhtiyar Kaki (R.A) was meeting with the king in the fort of Delhi. The
other officials were also present there. Suddenly a characterless woman came there
and asked justice. She requested the king to get her married, since she was under
the state of mental pain. The king asked her to whom she wanted to be married,
and which sort of agony she is facing, she said, "The fellow who is very close
to you and called himself as Qutub has raped me. As a result I am pregnant.
" Hearing the entire episode, all those present were shocked . They pulled down
their heads with shame. Qutub Sahib (R.A) was also ashamed . He could do nothing
but he turned his face towards Ajmer and called Khwaja Sahib (R.A) for his help.
As and when Khwaja Sahib (R.A) heard cry of his dear disciple for help, he immediately
reached there. He asked Qutub Sahib (R.A), "What is the matter ? Qutub Sahab (R.A)
could not speak a single word and tears started rolling out of his eyes. The episode
was revealed to Khwaja Sahib (R.A).
All this made Khwaja Sahib
(R.A) very much angry. He turned to the crooked lady and said " O child, inside
womb, your mother has alleged that Qutab Sahib (R.A) is your father. Tell whether
it is true ?"
There was a clear voice, from inside the womb, heard
by all present there. The child said, The statement is all wrong. The woman is
a prostitute and has been sent by the enemies of Qutub Sahib (R.A) to insult and
defame him." All the people were much surprised on hearing all about. The woman
himself admitted her false allegation.
Khwaja Sahib (R.A) said,
Only Allah can award honour and repute." And then he returned. Except Hazrat Khwaja
Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki (R.A), all were much surprised on arrival and disappearance
of Khwaja Sahib (R.A).
8. It is said that one day, one of his disciples
came to him. Khwaja Sahib (R.A) was busy in offering prayers. When he finished
his prayers and turned to the disciple the disciple said "huzoor the ruler of
the city has ordered me to exile without any fault of mine. So I am in
great trouble." Khwaja Sahib (R.A) kept silence for some time, then said, " Don’t
worry he has been punished. "When the disciple returned to the city, he heard
the news that the ruler fell from the back of the horse and has died.
9. One day, Khwaja Sahib (R.A) was sitting near Anna Sager, A shepherd
with some calves passed by, He said to the shepherd, " Dear give me some milk.
"The Shepherd took it as a joke and said " Baba, they are calves and do not give
milk. Khwaja Sahib (R.A) smiled and pointed towards a female calf and said, "Brother,
I will take her milk." When the shepherd laughed, Khwaja Sahib (R.A) insisted,
"Just see". The shepherd was very much surprised when he saw that her udders had
become large and were full of milk. So he milked the calf which was enough for
40 persons. Seeing it, the Shepherd fell into the feet of Khwaja Sahib (R.A) and
became his disciple.
10. One day, Khwaja Sahib (R.A) was sitting
among the disciples and preaching. Suddenly he saw something on his right
side. He stood up as paying respect to somebody. It happened again and again as
and when he glanced towards right side. When the assembly was over and people
left away, one of his servants asked the reason as to why he had been standing
up repeatedly on having a look at right side. Khwaja Sahib (R.A) said, "The Mazar
of my Peer-o-Murshid is located in that direction. As I looked towards that direction,
the Mazar came before my eyes, so I stood up to offer respect."
11. It was the assembly of the saints. Everyone of them
agreed to show his miracles. Thus Khwaja Usman Harooni (R.A) turned his Musallah
and took out some pieces of gold and gave them to a Durvesh and asked him to bring
some sweets for all present their. Shaikh Ohuddin Kirmani (R.A) touched a piece
of wood and it turned into gold.
When Khwaja Usman Harooni (R.A)
insisted, Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (R.A) knew through Divine inspiration that one of
the persons of the present assembly is hungry but could not tell others because
of modesty . Thus Khwaja Sahib (R.A) took out four barley Rotis and put them before
the person. |
