78.26.7

When at the time of presentation they described me as follows: “This worthy of Badaun has broken the head of Haji Ibrahim Sirhindi,” the Emperor desired that I should be presented at once, and his commands were issued to that effect. Shaikh Abd-un-Nabi, the Chief Qadr, was very much offended with me because I had not made use of him to obtain my introduction. He used to take the opposite side to myself in disputation, but the proverb came true “He that is bitten by a snake takes opium,” so that enmity by degrees turned into friendship. About this time Shaikh Abu-l-Fazl, son and heir of Shaikh Mubarak of Nagor, the star of whose knowledge and understanding was brilliant, came to Court, and received many marks of distinction.
