Muntakhab al-tawarikh 99.2.6

99.2.6

One day, at the time of leave-taking, I represented, through Miyan ‘Abdu-’l-Wahhab, one of the Shaikh's sincere companions, (to whom is applicable the text), “Blessedness awaiteth them and a goodly home,” that a report was current among the holy men of Hindustan that the time for the rising of a religious leader was at hand, that most of that body, (i.e., the holy men,) concurred in fixing on one of the Sayyids of that country, whose ancestors had formerly been seated on the throne of empire in Dihli and Badaon for some time, that they were engaged in making preparations for a holy war and in collecting arms, that they professed to have received directions from the holy Ghaus-i-A‘zam (may God be pleased with him!) to engage in this affair, and that they had implicated with themselves some of the Amirs on the frontier, and that some of them professed to have received supernatural encouragement during their assemblies and when they were in difficulties, and purposed to bring the object of their desire to an issue.
