remember all of them. He used to live in the service of his
father and spiritual master always and do his service like a
general disciple.
  Especially in the winter season, he will help his father with the
ablution in the Tahajud supererogatory prayer. If sometimes if
there will be no available wood to heat water then he will put
the pot on his stomach so that there may pass the body heat to
the pot and it can become water less cold.
  His father was made him his disciple at a younger age in the
chain of Sufi orders of the Chistiya and Shutaria and after a

short period of time, he has given a caliphate. After one year

  During the period of his whole life, he did not spread his hand

grace of chain of Quaderia. So go and get it from there.
 
    So as per order he left Burhanpur and by searching he was
reached there and he was spent two years and six months in

number of rak`ahs that must be performed, nor is there any
the maximum limit that may be performed. It would be fulfilled
even if one prayed just one rak`ah of Witr after `Ishaa';
however, it is traditionally prayed with at least two rak'at which
is known as shif'a followed by witr as this is what Muhammad
did before fajr Abdullah ibn Umar narrated that Muhammad
said: "Salatul Layl (Night Prayer, i.e. Tahajjud) is offered as two
rak'at followed by two rak'at and (so on) and if anyone is afraid
of the approaching dawn (Fajr prayer) he should pray one rak'at
and this will be a Witr for all the rak'at which he has prayed
before." Bukhari,Hadith 990) supererogatory prayer he will be
used to engage in remembrance of Allah till Fajr prayer. And
after Fajr, he used to be busy in the meditation.

were used to living in his company and who were benefitted
from his used advice.
    The author of ‘Miskawat Nabwa’, Hazrat Ghulam Ali Shah
Mausavi was briefly writing about him that “He was lived in his
service for a period of four years. And Hazrat was Qutub (In
Sufism, a Qutb is the perfect human being, al-Insān al-Kāmil
('The Universal Man'), who leads the saintly hierarchy. The
5
Qutb is the Sufi spiritual leader that has a divine connection
with God and passes knowledge on which makes him central to,
or the axis of, Sufism, but he is unknown to the world.) of his
time”.

place of residence.
