HIS
EXCELLENCE : His
spiritual sight was so powerful, that when he embraced anyone, or placed his
sight on him, then he would become so pure, that his heart would divorce itself
from the world and everything in it. He was one of the greatest Imams of Fiqh
in his era. He was a muqalid of Imam Ahmed bin Hambal .(radi Allaho anhu).
Hazrat Abu Saeed Mubaarak
Makhzoomi(radi Allaho anhu) is the founder of Baabul Azj, the most
famous madrassa in Baghdad Shareef. He handed this madrassa over to Hazrat
Ghaus-e-Azam Jilani (radi Allaho anhu) in his physical life. Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam
(radi Allaho anhu) taught at this Madrassa, and his beloved children taught in
it after his wisaal.
Hazrat Abu Saeed Mubaarak Makhzoomi (radi
Allaho anhu) says, "Sheikh
Abdul Qaadir (radi Allaho anhu) wore the Khirqa from me and I from him, and each
of us attained blessings from the other."
He was also a great Saahib-e-Karaamat
and held a very exalted position in the chain of wilaayat. The incident
relating to how Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (radi Allaho anhu) attained the Khirqah
from his Peer, can be found in the next chapter, which deals with Huzoor
Ghaus-e-Azam (radi Allaho anhu).
HIS
FORESIGHT: Hazrat Sheikh
Hamaad (radi Allaho anhu) who is from amongst the Masha'ikh of Huzoor
Ghaus-e-Azam (radi Allaho anhu) says, "Once Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (radi Allaho anhu) presented himself in
the Darbaar of his Peer-o-Murshid. He sat with great respect in the court of
his Peer. When he woke up and went outside, His Peer, Hazrat Abu Saeed Mubarak
Makhzoomi (radi Allaho anhu) said, 'The foot of this non-Arab is such, that in
his era, his foot will be on the shoulders (necks) of all the Awliyah Allah,
and this will occur when he says, This foot of mine is on the shoulders of all
the Awliyah Allah, he will say this, and all the Awliyah will lower their
necks.'"
HIS KHULAFA: Many of the predecessors have

Qaadir Jilani (radi Allaho anhu).

Shabaan.
