JAZZALLAHU ANNA MUHAMMADAM MA HUWA AHLAHU
Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
When Hadhrat Qutbud Deen Bakhtiyar Kaki took up residence in Delhi he would not accept any gift from anyone. He remained mustaghraq (completely absorbed in divine contemplation which made him oblivious of his surroundings). During these days he had no servant to tend to the needs of the house. Sharfud Deen, a Muslim shop-owner was his neighbour. Sometimes Sharfud Deen’s wife visited Hadhrat Shaikh’s wife.
At times there was absolutely nothing to eat in the house. On one such occasion, Hadhrat’s wife acquired a very small loan from the neighbour’s wife – just sufficient for some food. One day this woman said to Hadhrat’s wife:
“If I had not given you the loan, you would have starved to death.”
This statement hurt Hadhrat’s wife who resolved never again to ask for a loan.
Sometime thereafter she informed Hadhrat Shaikh of this incident. After a brief pause, Hadhrat said:
“You should not borrow anything from this woman.”
Pointing to a shelf, Hadhrat Shaikh said:
“When in need, recite Bismillah and take cake from it and distribute it to whomever you wish.”
Thereafter, she would always do so – taking from the shelf and distributing it. Whenever she placed her hand on the shelf, cake would be present miraculously.
It is for this reason that his title, Kaki became so famous.
