The holy Shaikh, with his Qur'an in one hand and salt in the other was appositely expounding the blessed verse, “Make ready then against them what force ye can, and squadrons of horse,” and so on to the end of the verse, ignoring my application for leave to depart. Apropos of what he was saying he then mentioned, in a most affectionate manner, Husain Khan, who was at that time in the pargana of Isauli, and said, “He is my son.” Then, following the dictates of his generous nature, which led him to bestow on every one, rich or poor, a piece of gold, or salt, or some other gift, he gave to me a tanka.
