He in some way managed to effect his escape, and in that very hour came begging to the holy Shaikh; but notwithstanding all his persistence and lamentation the Shaikh gave him nothing. We who were present were much astonished, as we had often witnessed instances of the Shaikh's generosity. The Shaikh at once opposed and objected to (our expressions of surprise) saying, “Look at the thief, who both robs on the highway and poses as a beggar,” and he drove him out of our assembly. This caused great astonishment, and when we looked closely at the man we recognized him as the same person whom the road-police had laid hands on. On the same day another occurrence, similar to this, took place, but an account of it would occupy much space. - [Previous: 92.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.92.7) - [Next: 92.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.92.9) - [Up: 92](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.92) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.92.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.92.8) · Pramāṇa
