The Rashīdī History 201.6

201.6

During this time a difference arose between Khwaja Nura and his younger brother, Khwaja Muhammad Yusuf, on account of the neglect of a point of etiquette. The breach widened [from day to day]. One day I went to wait upon Khwaja Nura, and found Khwaja Muhammad Yusuf sitting in his presence. Khwaja Nura had worked himself into a passion, and as soon as I had taken my seat, said: "Muhammad Yusuf, why do you act thus? If you are the disciple of our father, I am the disciple of his Holiness—that is, of Khwája Ihrár Khwája Ubaidullah; and besides this I have many points of superiority over you. You are foster-brother to my eldest son. Apart from all this, I am supported by God and His Prophet; what strength have you to oppose me?" Khwája Muhammad Yusuf replied: "I also am hopeful of the help of the Prophet." Then, asked Khwája Nurá: "Are you willing that the Prophet should be mediator between us?" Khwája Muhammad Yusuf answered: "I am quite willing," and Khwája Nurá having intimated that he also was willing, not another word was said. Thus the meeting terminated.
