People used to credit him with alchemistic powers, and used to come in such crowds that a thousand mans of fine flour and five hundred mans of freshly skinned meat, and three hundred mans of sugar used to be the daily expenditure of the which he expended in alms ; the aforesaid Sidi although he exerted always in vigils and the prayers of the five times, was, however, never present at the public on Fridays, nor was he bound by the conditions of public worship in accordance with established custom, and Qazi Jalalu-d-Din Kashani and Qazi Urdu and men of note, and trusted chiefs, and all both great and small, used continually to worship at his monastery. When this news reached the Sultan, the story goes that one night he went in disguise to his monastery, and saw for himself that he expended even more than was reported. Accordingly the next day he held a grand darbar and ordered Sidi Maula with the Qazi and the other Amirs who were his disciples, to be brought before him with ignominious treatment of all kinds, bound in fetters and chains. He enquired into the state of the case, and asked each one whether the Sidi laid claim to kingly power. The aforesaid Sidi denied it, and fortified his denial with an oath, but to no purpose. At that time Qazi Jalalu-d-Din lay under the Sultan’s displeasure, he also denied the allegation. The Sultan deposed him, and nominated him as Qazi of Budaon.
