One day somebody came and told him that Khwája Muhammad Yusuf had fallen ill, and was asking for him. I went to visit him and found he had a fever. The Khwája said to me: "I know well that Khwája Khávand Mahmud has taken an interest in me for some time past, he is kindly disposed towards me and gives me comfort from the Prophet. But now I do not know what has become of this comfort; for not a trace of it is apparent, and I am quite convinced that I shall not recover from my present illness. Khwája Khávand, who is my brother—nay more, stands in the place of a father to me, ought not to have treated me thus; he has put aside all his brotherly love and fatherly affection." These and a thousand such lamentations did he pour into my ears. He also told me a few anecdotes, and entrusted some of his household to my care. He gave me a garment of camel's-hair and an apron, as souvenirs. In vain did I attempt to dispel his ideas \[of impending death\]; he only replied: "I am convinced; there is not a shadow of doubt." He died on the sixth night of his illness, on the 14th of the month Safar of the year 937. I discovered this date in "Táir-i-Bahishti" \[a bird of paradise\]. - [Previous: 201.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.201.6) - [Next: 201.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.201.8) - [Up: 201](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.201) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.201.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.201.7) · Pramāṇa
