Hadrat Baha-ud-Din Naqshband Bukhari (Persian: بهاءالدین محمد نقشبند بخاری) (1318–1389) was the founder of what would become one of the largest and most influential Sufi Muslim orders, the Naqshbandi.
Biography
Hadrat Baha-ud-Din was born on 18 March 1318 CE (14 Muharram, 718 AH) in the village of Qasr-i-Hinduvan (later renamed Qasr-i Arifan) near Bukhara, in what is now Uzbekistan and it was there that he died in 1389.
He came into early contact with the Khwajagan (the Masters), and was adopted as spiritual progeny by one of them, Baba Muhammad Sammasi, while still an infant. Sammasi was his first guide on the path, and more important was his relationship with Sammasi's principal Khalifa (successor), Amir Kulal, the last link in the silsila, or chain of teachers, before Khaja Baha-ud-Din.

It is narrated by one darwesh that once our Khaja Sahib was
riding on the donkey in the city of Bukhara. By chance one darwesh was meeting him there on the way. The darwesh requested Khaja Sahib that “There is no need of his getting down from the donkey.” He told him “His intention is not there to get down so there is no need for the request.” Then the dervish was becoming too much angry. But Khaja Sahib was smiling and showing his freshness. The persons who seen him were surprised by his kindness. By chance on the next day, he went with another group of darwesh persons to Kofian. There that darwesh became severely ill. The persons who seen him doing disrespect of the Khaja Sahib went to see him and said to him that serious disease caused due to no regard and disrespect of Khaja Sahib by him.Your cure is with him. That dervish began remembering Khaja Sahib on a daily basis. One day he called me and said: “If you will not come to see him, then he will be killed.” I left for him and went for one important work and I went somewhere. During this time I have met with Khaja Sahib. And he was coming from Kofian. I said “Salam to him.” He was asked “How is the condition of that patient.? If he would be with him, then it would be better.” I was surprised very much and said: “ He is having much difficulty and he wants to see you there.” He did not go to his house but he immediately went to visit that patient and I was also with him. He visited the patient and said “ The giver of recovery of the health is with Allah. You will be recovered from this disease soon. So do not afraid. You will not die from this disease.” Due to the felicity of his prayer there were seen the effects of the recovery in him. He was regretting much in the service of the Khaja Sahib. And he said “Are you angry with me.?.I have done disrespect to you so forgive me.” Khaja Sahib said “ We are not angry with you. In our heart, there is no feeling of resentment for you.” He came out of the house of the darwesh and he said “ We followed the path of the prophet and at that time when infidel persons who have broken the teeth of the prophet then he said “Oh Allah give guidance to my nation. Because they do not know.” But it was said that “ Learned persons are like naked swords. The people killed by them with such swords by themselves. But these people did not strike swords with them on any person.” Hadrat Aziazn has questioned that “ The people said that there was reached sword by the learned person to such and such person. So how is this saying.?” He said that “ One who is courageous will not take help from others and but who is not courageous will not do like that such work. But in this way the people who killed themselves with one naked sword.” -----
