SHAYKH BÁBÁ RATN

Was the son of Naṣr at-Tabrindí;* his patronymic was Abu'l Riẓá. In the time of Ignorance he was born at Tabrindah and went to Ḥijáz and saw the Prophet, and after many wanderings returned to India. Many accepted the accounts he related, while others rejected them as the garru­lity of senile age. He died at Tabarindah, in A. H. 700 (A. D. 1300–1), and was there buried. Shaykh Ibn i Ḥajr Asḳalání, Majdu'ddín Fírozábádí, Shaykh Alá u' ddaulah as Símnáni, Khwájah Muḥammad Pársá and many pious individuals acknowledged and commended him.
