His father was one of the intimate friends of Kazi Imad-ud-Din Maskin, Samarkandi, and for this reason Hazrat Maulana was known as Maulana Muhammad Kazi. After he had acquired a certain proficiency in the sciences, he devoted himself to the study of theology—walking in the way of God—and to this end he repaired to Khorasan. On leaving Samarkand, he went to pay his respects to that much beloved and respected example of piety, Khwaja Nasir-ud-Din Ubaidullah, who lived there. He asked Hazrat Maulana where he was going. The latter replied that he was going to Khorasan. Again he asked: "Are you going for the sake of study, or for some other object?" A certain student, who was in the company of Hazrat Maulana, said: "His greatest desire is to become a darvish." His Holiness \[the Khwaja\] telling them to wait a little, went into his garden, and after a prolonged absence returned, bringing two letters for Hazrat Maulana: one was a letter of recommendation to Khwaja Kilan, the son of Maulana Sad-ud-Din Kashghari; the other contained an account of the rules and practices of devotees, which he had written, and which he now gave to Hazrat Maulana. \[Here follows an epitome or summary of the contents of the "Tract," which contained commendations to the study of divine truths, through following Muhammad, and warnings against associating with dancing and singing (or howling) darvishes, and against listening to heretical doctrines.\] - [Previous: 124.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.124.5) - [Next: 125.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.125.2) - [Up: 125](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.125) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.125.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.125.1) · Pramāṇa
