44.SAVED A TOWN FROM BURNING
I am 100 now and had the good fortune to interact with Syedna Taher Saifuddin on many an occasion. I was with Huzurala during his famous journey across Kathiawar. We were in a small town and suddenly Huzurala resolved that he must leave for Amreli. A number of mumineen requested him to pray his maghrib-isha and then leave for Amreli but he decided otherwise and prayed namaaz en route. That night a big fire broke out in Amreli and the entire mohalla where he was staying was threatened. Moulana refused to vacate aney shifa nu paani chhadku and gradually the fire subsided. It is then that we realized the reason behind his urgency to leave for Amreli.
