He was a traveller in the path (of righteousness) and was mysteriously attracted (by the love of God), but notwith­standing this he neglected not one jot of the observances of the pure Law.* Many miracles are related as having been performed by him. He lived and received disciples without pomp or cere­mony. When I after waiting upon the holy Miyāṅ Shaikh Dā'ūd* (may his honoured tomb be sanctified!) was returning from the Panjāb and travelled to Badāon by way of Amroha, I paid my respects to the Sayyid already mentioned.* He read a verse from the glorious word (of God), and delivered an address, not on any fixed theme,* but now and again he would turn to me and make some remarks on the excellence of the reward and recompense* reserved for the long-suffering, and he quoted the blessed text “But good works, which are lasting…”* and so on to the end of the verse. And it afterwards* became manifest that this was an indication of the occurrence of a calamity which happened to me. The facts were briefly thus: I had a daughter, whom I dearly loved, and while I was on this journey* she passed away in Badāon from this deceitful world. Probably those consoling subjects were (mentioned) for the comfort of my ^40. heart—but God knows all!

The Shaikh's death occurred in the year H. 987 (A.D. 1579).
