The following is an event which occurred in India, a long time after Ghauš-ul-A’ẓam’s demise, read it and rejoice. At the time when Ranjīt Singh ruled India, there was a so-called Muslim who did not have any belief in the powers of saints of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
He fell in love with a married Hindu woman. Once her husband was taking her to her parents’ house when lust took over him and he started chasing them on a horse. Soon they came to a deserted place, with the couple on foot and the lover approaching on a horse. In an effort to express outward sympathy he asked them to sit behind him on the horse, but they refused.
The lover began to insist and said, ‘At least permit your wife to sit behind otherwise the poor lady will get tired’. The Hindu man became aware of the man’s bad intentions, so he asked him to provide some sort of surety that he would take his wife to her destination without any harm. He replied, ‘Where could I get you a surety from in this jungle?’
The woman replied, ‘Muslims have great faith in Sayyīdunā Ghauš-ul-A’ẓam عَلَیۡهِ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ الۡاَ کۡرَم, give him as a surety’. Even though he did not have faith in Ghauš-ul-A’ẓam عَلَیۡهِ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ الۡاَ کۡرَم, thinking to himself that nothing will be lost if he accepted, he gave his word. As soon as the woman mounted onto the horse, that tyrant cut off her husband’shead with his sword and made the horse run as fast as he could.
The heartbroken woman was upset and kept turning and looking behind. The lover told her that she would not gain anything by looking behind as her husband could not come back. The woman replied, ‘I am looking at the king of saints.’ Upon hearing, the lover laughed and said, ‘The king of saints died many years ago; how can you see him now?’ As soon as he said this two elderly men appeared; one of whom beheaded the heretic lover. Then they brought the woman and the horse to the place where her husband was lying dead. One of the men picked up the head, put it back onto the shoulders and said, “Get up with the command of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.” At that very instant the man came back to life. Following that incident the elderly men disappeared.
The husband and wife rode back home on the horse. The relatives of the murdered lover recognised the horse, so they filed a suit in the court of Ranjīt Singh against the couple, on the basis that they had the horse and their man was missing so they most probably murdered him. The couple related the whole incident that took place in the jungle before the court. They said that one of the old men looked like the famous Majżūb (Majżūb is a person who is so much overwhelmed by remembrance of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ that he becomes unconscious of his surroundings.)Gul Muhammad Shāĥ Ṣāḥib. The court summoned Gul Muhammad Shāĥ to attend the court and when he arrived, he explained the incident word by word to the court.
Everyone at the court was amazed to hear the thriving marvel of Sayyīdunā Ghauš-ul-A’ẓam عَلَیۡهِ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ الۡاَ کۡرَم. The case was dismissed and both of them were set free and were rewarded with many favours and respects by Ranjīt Singh.
(Al-Ḥaqāiq fil Ḥadāiq, pp. 95)
Al-amān qaĥr ĥay Ay Ghauš woh tikha tayrā
Mar kay bhi chayn say sotā naĥin mārā tayrā
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
