The Rashīdī History 86.4

86.4

His Holiness Mauláná and Sayyid Ná Mahdumi Mauláná Muhammad Kázi (upon whom be mercy and forgiveness) has written in the appendix [zail] to his "Salsalat ul Arifin," that this occurrence is among the miracles of his Holiness [i.e. of Násiruddin Ubaidullah]. It is related there: "The meeting was so solemn that, in the intensity of my emotion [dahashat] I overturned the table-cloth [dastár khwán]; when the meeting was terminated his Holiness said: 'It is well, I must now retire, for I am an old man and can only bear a certain amount of fatigue.' "The three kings returned, each one, to his own army. His Holiness departed in the direction of the river of Khojand and performed his ablutions [vazu] at the waterside. Turning to me he said: 'Mauláná Muhammad can write an account of my deed.' His Holiness the Mauláná says that this was his reason for undertaking the composition of his book—the Salsalat ul Arifin.
