THE BEST OF ASSEMBLIES
The sayings of the Chishti shaykh Nasiruddin Mahmud, who was known as "The Lamp of Delhi" have been collected in Khair al-Majaales (= The Best of Assemblies ). I remember seeing an Urdu translation of this book in a small bookstall at the dargah of Khwaja Mo'inuddin Chishti in Ajmer. I did not buy it. The Persian original must be hard to get as knowledge of Persian is leaving in India these days. Some of the anecdotes as given below can be found in Khair al-Majaales, while other stories have been derived from different Chishti sources:
In a story in The Best of Assemblies a prince of Rum happens to hear the first line of a qasida of Hakim Sanaa'i:
O you who have heard about Rum and about China, Rise and come to behold the empire of Sanaa'i.
The prince then sets out for an actual journey to Ghazna in search of this unknown empire. He finds that its 'ruler', i.e. Hakim Sanaa'i, is living as a dervish in extreme poverty. When he meets Hakim Sanaa'i, the Hakim is absorbed in pious meditation next to a tomb. The true meaning of the claim is revealed to the prince after he has renounced the empire of his father and has put on a dervish' cloak.
While he was wearing this garment, God showed him things, which caused the prince to swoon. When he returned to consciousness, Hakim Sanaa'i said to him: "Have you seen our empire?" He answered: "I have seen it. You have said too little in this line. Not only Rum and China, but all the kingdoms of the world are nothing".
Only when the prince has dismissed all his servants and distributed his belongings among the people, is Hakim Sanaa'i willing to accept him as a human being ( mard ) and to share his own empire with him.

Hazrat Nizamuddin Awliya told the following story: 'Once a dervish arrived at the hospice of Shaykh Junayd Baghdadi - may God sanctify his lofty secret - just as the new moon was due to appear that signalled the beginning of the blessed month of Ramadan. That dervish requested the Shaykh to permit him to lead the 'tarawih' prayer. The Shaykh granted his request. Every evening thereafter he recited the entire Qur'an. 'Each night,' said the Shaykh, 'take one loaf of bread and one jug of water to the cell of that dervish'.
As the Shaykh had commanded, they took a loaf of bread and a jug of water to his cell every night. After he had recited the tarawih prayer for thirty evenings, the time of celebration ('id) arrived, and the day after 'id the Shaykh bid that dervish farewell. He left. After his departure they searched his cell, and found all thirty loaves of bread untouched. Each night he had consumed one jug of water and nothing more'.

Here is another story from the Chishti pir who has become known as The Lamp of Delhi :
A man named Shaiba makes a prophecy, that the father of Hakim Sanaa'i would have a son who would be a friend of God and who would receive unveilings and would have supernatural powers ( u saaheb-e velaayat va saaheb-e kashf va saaheb-e karaamaat baashad ). Shaiba is a divana , a wise fool.
Hakim Sanaa'i is born after the death of Shaiba, so his father sends him to the grave of Shaiba to sit there for forty days to seek the fulfilment of the prophecy. On his way back, the young Hakim Sanaa'i meets with a leprous dervish sitting on a bench in front of an enclosure. This dervish is as possessed as Shaiba must have been: he has asked God to send him this disease as a means to keep the people away from him. He is also the one who confirms the prophecy through an act of initiation.
He sends the young man out to buy some biscuits and soup by selling his own turban and then offers him a drink from the soup, having stirred it with his leprous fingers. When he sees that the boy swallows the polluted soup without any sign of disgust, the dervish declares: "As long as one has not swallowed blood, one has not yet become really human. You just have swallowed blood; so go on our way, for you have now become truly a human being".

Hakim Sanaa'i is said to have shared the ceremony, as has been described in the previous tale, with a friend who later became the Sufi shaykh 'Uthmaan-e Harbaabaadi. The promise of a great future in the realm of Sufism extended, according to the Chishti shaykh Nasiruddin Cheragh-e Delhi, to either of the boys: "The Khwaja opened to Sanaa'i the road to the art of poetry so that his poems reached all the horizons. He became both a master of words ( saaheb-e sokhan ) and a friend of God ( saaheb-e velaayat ). As for 'Uthmaan-e Harbaabaadi, he became a friend of God. To him the road to Sufism was opened".
About this second person we know little more than that he lived in Ghazna as a vendor of cheap food, but was at the same time, the author of a commentary on the Qur'an. He was, apparently, regarded as a great Sufi by the early Chishti shaykhs.

The Chishti pir Nasiruddin Cheragh-e Dehli said:
One day Mawlana Husamuddin came into the presence of shaykh Nizamuddin (may God sanctify their secrets). He said: 'Mawlana Husamuddin, today we saw one of the abdaal (changed ones)'. He asked: 'Where did you see him?' He said: 'I was making a visit to the tomb of Bibi Sam. It is near the enclosure of a pool. A man appeared carrying cucumbers on his head, which he brought down to the edge of the pool. He stored the cucumbers away and performed ablutions in such a way that I was astonished. When he finished his ablutions, he performed two rakaat of prayer with perfect equanimity. I was astonished from the experience of seeing his prayer. Then he went into the water and washed his basket 3 times. Then, one by one, he washed the cucumbers, offered prayers to the Prophet and put them into the basket, until he had washed all the cucumbers in this way. Then he picked up the basket and 3 times put it down into the pool. He picked it up again and set it on the edge so that the water trickled out. From utter astonishment, I arose. There was a silver coin in my turban, which I took out and offered to him'.
I said: 'Master accept this'. He said: 'Shaykh excuse me'. I said: 'Master, for a couple of coppers you wash your cucumbers repeatedly and take such pains. God, the Elevated, now sends you a silver coin as a gift. Give us the explanation, why won't you take it?' He said: 'Sit down, so that I can tell you'.
That man and I both sat down. Then he began to tell this:
'My father used to do the same job. I was small when my father passed away. My mother taught me enough rules of worship, that I knew how to pray five times a day. After that, when the hour of her passing took place, she called me near and said': 'We have tied up something with a knot. Get it out and bring it'.
'I put my hand on that thing and there was a knot in it. I put it before my mother. She opened it up and did something particular. She said:
'This is the way to prepare the burial shroud, to wash the corpse and to perform the burial in the tomb'.
She gave me about 20 dirhams and said: 'This is the fortune of your whole life. When your father went into the garden, he picked cucumbers and vegetables and sold them. Thus he spent his whole life. You also pick cucumbers and vegetables and sell them. Don't support yourself in any way but this'.'
Shaykh Nasiruddin said: 'When the man finished his tale, I realized that he was one of the abdaal (changed ones). He accepts nothing from anyone except under duress. May God have mercy on him and on all the pious ones!'

A grandson of shaykh Najibuddin, who was a vagabond, places an inkpot, pen and paper before shaykh Nizamuddin Awliya and asks him to write a letter of recommendation to a particular malik so that he is able to get something from him.
"How can I write to him?" the shaykh apologized, "he does not come to me. But tell me what you expect from him and I will give it to you".
"Give me what you like but write the letter also," said the visitor. "No," replied the shaykh, "it is not the custom of dervishes to write letters, particularly when I have never met him and he has never come to me".
The man started abusing the shaykh "Nizamuddin! You are the disciple of my grandfather and his slave ( banda ). I am the descendant of your Khwaja. I say write this letter and you do not". So saying he raised the inkpot, threw it on the ground and rose to depart.
The shaykh stretched his hands, caught hold of his skirt and said: "You go away displeased. Cast away your anger and then you can go".

One day shaykh Nizamuddin Awliya entered the room of his murshid when he was alone. He placed his head on his feet and requested him to pray for the steadfastness of his faith. Baba Farid acceded to this request. Later on he lamented why he did not request Baba Farid to pray for his death while listening to Sufi music.

Once a reference was made in the circle of Hazrat Nizamuddin Awliya to an incident of shaykh Abu Sa'id Abul Khair's life that a man inflicted two strokes of stirrup-leather on an animal in his presence. Shaykh Abu Sa'id sighed as if the strokes had hit him. A man objected to this.
Shaykh Nizamuddin Awliya explained it thus: "When the soul becomes strong and attains perfection it absorbs the heart (the emotional centre); when the heart becomes strong, it absorbs the body. In consonance with this law, it is possible that when a man's heart is affected, the effect of it should appear on the body".

Baba Farid then said: “I meant my son Nizamuddin”.
After some time Baba Farid called out: “Nizamuddin”.

Hazrat Nizamuddin Awliya's relations with non-Muslims were determined by two basic postulates:
• All human beings are the children of God on earth.
• You should adopt the ways of God in your dealings with human beings. The bounties of God – sun, rain and earth – don't discriminate between one person and another.

One day Khwaja ‘Azizuddin told Hazrat Nizamuddin Awliya about an after-meal conversation in a feast he had attended. The people present there were saying that Hazrat Nizamuddin Awliya's life was free from all sorts of worries. On hearing this Hazrat Nizamuddin Awliya said: “Nobody in this world has more worries and agonies than myself. So many people come to me and report their woes and misfortunes to me. All these accounts sear my heart and my soul”.
