Once when I went for qadamosi to Syedna Taher Saifuddin Saheb, he asked me to come again the following  day. When I went the next day, he asked me to come again.This continued for 40 days in successionDuring my presence in the queue for qadambosi I would notice a moomin bhai. Sometimes he would be in front and sometimes behind me. He would submit his araz that Moulana muney barakat nathi thati, mahina na ending ma 100 rupiah udhar thayi jaai chhey ane udhari wadhti wadhti 500 rupiah thayi gayi chhey.

One day, Moulana yeh ehni arzi suni ne ehne farmayu ke kaale tu taara chopra layi ne aavje. When he presented his books of account, he looked into how much he spent on his daily grocery, how much he spent on things like chillies, onions, etc. Moulana yeh ek red pencil leedhi aney ehna si kitni cheez mark karaavi aney farmayu ke aa na lavje havey si. In the space of few minutes, Moulana had made savings of Rs 35 rupees in his monthly budget. Moulana’s message: jitli chaadar hoyi itlooj pug phelavvu zaroori!

Teh baad Huzuarala eh bhai ne poochu ke taara maa kahaan chhey. He replied ke guzri gaya chhey. Moulana yeh ehne farmayu: “Tu tara maa na qabar par ja ane maafi maang; agar yeh maaf karse to tane barakat thaase!”
