On his father's side, his line went back to Shaikh Burhānu'd-dīn \`Alī \_Qīlīch\_, on his mother's to Sl. Aīlīk \_Māẓī\_. This family had come to be the Religious Guides (\_muqtadā\_) and pontiff (\_Shaikhu'l-islām\_) and Judge (\_qāẓī\_) in the Farghāna country.\[417\] He was a disciple of his Highness \`Ubaidu'l-lāh (\_Aḥrārī\_) and from him had his upbringing. I have no doubt he was a saint (\_walī\_); what better witnesses to his sanctity than the fact that within a short time, no sign or trace remained of those active for his death? He was a wonderful man; it was not in him to be afraid; in no other man was seen such courage as his. This quality is a further witness to his sanctity. Other men, however bold, have anxieties and tremours; he had none. When they had killed him, they seized and plundered those connected with him, retainers and servants, tribesmen and followers. - [Previous: 903.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4.1) - [Next: 903.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4.3) - [Up: 903.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4.2) · Pramāṇa
