Syedna Taher Saifuddin Saheb’s memory was prodigious.
• Many a time when His Holiness would refer to a certain book in the library, he would just name one page from which information would be required. At times if it was not found on the page named, then it would invariably be found on the previous or succeeding page.
• Dr. Sk. Tayebhai expired in the train just before it Dohad from Delhi. His body was bought to Surat according to His Holiness’s instructions. His Holiness directed the aamil saheb that the burial should be in the khubba at a particular place. The aamil saheb telephoned that there was no vacant plot. His Holiness asked the aamil
to look carefully, and yes, it was found that there was only one vacant plot which had been missed!
• One day a lady came from a great distance and waited near the entrance to the hall at Saifee Mahal. After His Holiness entered and took his seat, to the surprise of all present, he asked the lady to be brought in first. He asked the lady (whom he named) why had she come 3 years late!
