SHAYKH* ḤAMÍDU'DDÍN SUWÁLÍ OF NÁGOR

Was the son of Shaykh Aḥmad. In his early youth he was handsome and rich, but in pursuit of the truth he abandoned the world and applied himself to the practice of austerities. He wore the mantle of discipleship under Khwájah Mu'ínu'ddín and attained a high degree of perfection. He was styled Sulṭán u't-Tárikín, the King of Recluses. He rolled up the carpet of life on the 29th Rabíi' II, A. H. 673 (31st October 1274). His restingplace is in Nágor.*
