61.8.3

Accordingly he set out by night from Biana, and had an interview with Islām Shāh in the morning as he was mounted ready to march, and greeted him with 'Peace be to you.' On the instant Miyan Bahwa seized him by the nape of the neck and bent his head down saying 'My friend the Shaikh this is the way they salute kings.' The Shaikh looked savagely in his direction and replied "The salutation which is in accordance with the sunnat, and which is that which the friends of the Prophet, may the peace and blessing of God be upon him and his family, used to make, and which he, may the peace and blessing of God be upon him and his family, used to give them in response, is this same form of salutation. I know no other." Islām Shāh, with evident aversion asked "Is this the master of Shaikh 'Alāī?" Mullā 'Abdullah who was lying in wait for him said 'The very man.' By order of Islām Shāh he was at once seized and most unmercifully beaten with sticks and kicked and cuffed; the Shaikh as long as he retained consciousness kept repeating this text of the sacred word "Lord forgive us our sins, and our extravagance in our affairs; and make firm our footing, and help us against the misbelieving folk!" Islām Shāh enquired what he was saying.
