His disciple brought him costly clothes but he wore only rags. He did not use a pillow for sleeping. However, he was fond of Delhi shoes and Delhi caps.
Once an Arab asked him for two hundred rupees. He didnot know who the person was. He borrowed the money from a shopkeeper and gave it to him. But the Arab was not satisfied. He wanted another Rs. 50. He also managed that money for hm. Then the ARab demanded a blanket and a pitcher. The Master gave him his own blanket and his own pitcher. Then the Arab wanted Master to write ten letters for him. The Master did that also for an unknown guest. Then the Arab demanded fare for a pony. The Master directed the Arab to take the money from a certain shopkeeper. Such was the Master's limitless generosity and tolerance.
The Master had a miraculous touch and he cured everybody by simply praying for him. He cured some of the most dangerous diseases by simply giving water to the sufferers.

If any one wants to visit the mazar-e- akdas the he has to get down at kanpur station and from the bus stand catch the bus directly to Gunjmuradabad Sharif. It is hardly 90 kms from kanpur and 40 kilometers away from Makhanpur Sharif where the Mazar-e-akdas of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar(ra) is situated.
The Hamd sharif & Mankabat sharif which is playing in the background leaving "Ay Saba Mustafa Se Kehdena" is read by my very close frnd Syed Muhammad Ali Farrukh Hashmi Qadri Fazl-e-Rehmani who is from karachi pakistan.
