Was the son of Ṣadru'ddín Aárif and the successor of his eminent grandfather. At the time when Sulṭán Ḳuṭbu'ddín (Mubárak Sháh Khiljí, (A. H. 717. A. D. 1317), regarded Shaykh Niẓámu'ddín with disfavour, he summoned Shaykh Ruknu'ddín from Multán in the hope of disturbing his influence. On his arrival near Delhi he met Shaykh Niẓámu'ddín. Ḳuṭbu'ddín on receiving the Shaykh (Ruknu'ddín) asked him “Who among the people of the city was the foremost in going out to meet him?” He replied: “The most eminent person of his age.” By this happy answer he removed the king's displeasure.* His restingplace is Multán.
