تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 13.47.18

13.47.18

وفكرت في الرجل الذي حملني على عنقه، فتذكرت ما أخبرني به ولي الله تعالى أبو عبد الله المرشدي حسبما ذكرناه في السفر الأول ، إذ قال لي: ستدخل أرض الهند وتلقى بها أخي دلشاد، ويخلصك من شدة تقع فيها، وتذكرت قوله لما سألته عن اسمه فقال:

I was extremely astonished at this, then I thought of the man who had carried me on his shoulders and I remembered what the saint Abu ‘Abdallah al-Murshidi had told me, as I have related in the first journey, when he said to me: “You will enter the land of India and meet there my brother Dilshad, who will deliver you from a misfortune which will befall you there.” I remembered too how he had said, when I asked him his name, “Joyous Heart” which, translated into Persian, is Dilshad. So I knew that it was he whom the saint had foretold that I should meet, and that he too was one of the saints, but I enjoyed no more of his company than the short space which I have related. The same night I wrote to my friends at Koel to inform them of my safety, and they came, bringing me a horse and clothes and rejoiced at my escape.
