The Rashīdī History 148: ACCOUNT OF THE MIRACLES OF MAULÁNÁ MUHAMMAD KÁZÍ.

148

At the time of Shah Ismail's victory over Shahi Beg Khan, and the arrival of the Emperor in Samarkand, to lend his aid to the former, Hazrat Maulana had left Samarkand and come to Andijan, as has been mentioned above. At the period of which I am now speaking, Hazrat Maulana was living in the province of Farghana, and all the Amirs, of every degree, used to wait upon him, and profit by the blessing of his converse. I also took upon myself the duty of waiting on him frequently, and he continued to shower upon me the same kindly favours as he had done when I was a child in Uratippa (at the time of the calamities in Bokhara); and by the blessing of which favours, I was rescued from that terrible abyss, all of which has been already explained.
Hazrat Maulana performed miracles and wonders. Among others was the following: One of my father's retainers, Sayyidim Kukildash, who was a disciple of Hazrat Maulana, was one day waiting on the latter. Hazrat Maulana, seeing that he looked sad, questioned him [as to the cause]. Sayyidim Kukildash replied: "A certain person" (meaning me) "has come from Hisar in the hopes of obtaining the Khan's daughter in marriage, and being thus raised to the dignity of Kurkani. All the Amirs are now opposed to this match, and it is difficult to carry through anything that the Khan's Amirs have set their faces against. This is the reason of my sorrow and dejection." Hazrat Maulana then said: "I feel convinced that God has fore-ordained this union; therefore the efforts of the Amirs can avail nothing. This marriage will certainly take place." When Sayyidim returned, he repeated to me the words of Hazrat Maulana, and announced the good news. It was at this time that the Khan was away among the Kazak, but a few days later he returned, and raised me to that dignity which Hazrat Maulana had foretold. Thus, in Rajab of the year 919 I was elevated to the rank of Kurkan.
