MANAM SAG-E-DARBAR-E-JILAN
While on his way to Delhi, the eminent Sufi shaykh Jalaluddin Tabrizi passed through Kahtwal. He enquired from the people whether there was any mystic in the town. They replied in the negative, but added that there was the son of the Qazi, Fariduddin, who was generally thought to be mad. The young Baba Farid was always busy in his devotions and prayers behind the mosque of the town. Shaykh Jalaluddin went to see him.
On the way someone presented a pomegranate to him. Shaykh Jalaluddin took it as a present for Baba Farid and, breaking it, offered it to him. Baba Farid was fasting and did not partake of it. When shaykh Jalaluddin had left he found a pomegranate seed lying on the ground. He picked it up, put it away and took it at the time of breaking the fast.
This single seed caused a sudden spiritual illumination within him. He deeply regretted why he had not accepted the whole of the fruit, which would have given him more spiritual blessings, but later when told this to his spiritual guide, his murshid remarked: “All the spiritual blessing was in that one seed. It was destined for you and it reached you. There was nothing in the rest of the fruit”.
This remark is responsible for the practice amongst the Chishtiyya Sufis to eat the entire pomegranate, lest the blessed seed be missed.

One day Baba Farid was reading Nafa' , a book on Islamic Law. Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtyar Kaki had come to Multan from Aush and was staying in that mosque. Baba Farid's insight discerned in the visitor a spiritual guide of infinite capabilities. Khwaja Qutbuddin busied himself in prayers soon after his arrival and Baba Farid sat down near him with the book in his hand, eagerly awaiting the moment when the shaykh would finish his prayers.
After his prayers the visitor turned to Baba Farid and asked affectionately: “Mawlana! What book is this?”
“It is Nafa' !” - replied Baba Farid.
“May there be naf' (benefit) for you in its study”, said the Khwaja.
“There is benefit for me in your mercy and blessing”, submitted Baba Farid and then placed his head at the feet of the Khwaja and recited the following verses:
Maqbul-e to joz moqbel jaavid nashod
Vaz lotf-e to hich banda nawmid nashod
‘Awnat bekodaam zarra paiwast dami
Kaan zarra beh az hazaar khurshid nashod
It implies eternal acceptance, if one is accepted by you.
And no one is disappointed when being blessed by you.
Any particle becomes better than a thousand suns,
By receiving even a little bit of attention by you .

A poorly dressed dervish came to Baba Farid who gave him something and permitted him to depart. The dervish remained standing and asked the shaykh to give him the comb, which he had taken out from its cover and placed on the prayer-carpet. As the comb was not worth anything and had been long used by the shaykh, he did not reply to the request. The dervish began to shout loudly: “If the shaykh gives me this comb, he will receive plenty of blessings.” “Be off”, Baba Farid replied, “and do not disturb me any more. I throw you and your blessings into the river.”

The Chishti shaykh Badruddin Ghaznavi did not stay out of politics and attached himself to a certain treasurer. The treasurer constructed a khanqah for the shaykh and offered to pay for all his expenses. Shaykh Badruddin accepted this offer although it was against the traditions of the Chishti order.
However it was not possible for the shaykh to escape from the consequences. The treasurer got involved in an embezzlement and withhis ruin came the ruin of shaykh Badrudddin Ghaznavi.
Much woried and perplexed he wrote to Baba Farid: "One of the servants of the 'diwan' had built a khanqah for me and had arranged for the boarding and the lodging of the dervishes. Now a charge of embezzlement has been brought against him. I am much worried and disturbed. Kindly pray for his release and the welfare of the dervishes".
"He who does not follow the principles of his spiritual guide", wrote Baba Farid in reply, "is confronted with such troubles and worries that his heart gets no peace. Who, among our masters, did ever construct a khanqah for himself and reside there as you have done? It was not the practice of shaykh Qutbuddin and his master Khwaja Mo'inuddin to construct a khanqah and set up a shop. Wherever they went or sojourned, they tried to conceal themselves from that people".

A qalandar came to Baba Farid at the time when the shaykh was active in his devotions in his room. He sat down on the prayer-carpet of the shaykh, which was lying outside the cell of Baba Farid. Mawlana Badruddin Ishaq entertained the visitor and brought food for him. Having enjoyed the food, the qalandar took out some hemp leaves from his leathern bag and began to prepare a mixture. Some drops fell on the prayer-carpet of the shaykh.
Mawlana Badruddin stepped forward and tried to stop the qalandar from polluting the prayer-carpet. The qalandar got enraged and was about to hit his begging-bowl on Mawlana Ishaq that shaykh Baba Farid rushed out from his room and got the qalandar's hand.
“Forgive him for my sake,” asked Baba Farid.
“The dervishes don't raise their hands,” replied the qalandar, “but when they do so they don't take them down”.
“Throw it on that wall,” said Baba Farid. The qalandar threw the begging-bowl against the wall, which fell down instantly.

Once there was a shaykh, who was a man of spiritual powers, and there was a qazi, who was a man of ascetic disposition. The shaykh manifested numerous supernatural powers, but the qazi was not impressed and refused to become his murid. Finally the qazi said he would become his murid only if he agreed to keep a chilla with him, that is to have a forty-day contest with him.
The shaykh enquired: “A chilla of men or a chilla of women?” The qazi was nonplussed by the question, for he had never come across this distinction in the books and wanted to be enlightened about the same.
“The chilla of women,” replied the shaykh, “means that on the first day you perform ablutions and have a bath, and then retire to a retreat and have your meals for forty days, and then come out with your bath and ablution intact (that is without sleeping or other conditions which break your ritual purification). And the chilla of men means that you have two flayed sheep and two maunds of bread every day, and on the fortieth day you come out with your ablutions intact”.
The qazi was flabbergasted, but acquiesced in keeping the chilla of men. There were two chambers in the shaykh's house, one of which was given to the qazi and the other was kept by the shaykh for himself. When the first day had passed and the time for the breaking of the fast arrived, each of them were served two roast sheep and about 160 lb of bread as had been agreed upon. The shaykh consumed his portion. The qazi being a man of ascetic habits and small appetite, could take only two pieces of bread; the balance that remained, was also cleared by the shaykh.
The shaykh then performed his night prayers. The qazi suffered from a twisting of the bowels, but pretended to offer his prayers. The shaykh rebuked him for offering prayers without full ritual purity and advised him to break his chilla, which he readily did. The shaykh, just to show that he could keep his word, maintained the chilla schedule for twenty days. The qazi fell at his feet and became his murid.

The Chishti shaykh Nasiruddin Cheragh Dehlavi makes it clear that according to him there is no contradiction between earning an income (kasb) and trust in God (tawakkul). His words are: “Being engaged in kasb does not involve a negation of tawakkul. If a man with a family is engaged in kasb, and his heart's eye is focussed not on kasb but on Haqq (God, Reality, Truth), then he practises tawakkul".

Once someone invited Hazrat Nizamuddin Awliya to a diner to which he had also invited fifty to sixty other people. The dinner was naturally preceded by a samaa' (music) session. As news got around that the shaykh was coming to the samaa' people started coming from all sides to listen to the samaa'. When it was over, the host found he had a thousand people on his hands. His endeavours to send away the uninvited persons attracted the shaykh's attention. He insisted that everyone present should share the available food, and he threatened to leave if anyone was turned away.

A dervish came to see shaykh Nasiruddin Cheragh Dehlavi and complained of his sufferings at the hands of someone. The shaykh advised him to bear his sufferings, remarking: “If someone has been cruel to you, you in return act in the tradition of the dervishes and pardon him”.
