Badgumani | Bad Assumption
Imam-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, Maulana Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه (who passed away in 1340 AH) has narrated a parable: Sayyiduna Khuwajah Naqshband رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه came in the court of Sayyiduna Ameer Kalal رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه in Bukhara after hearing about his fame.

Now he was very worried, not knowing what to do. Meanwhile, he saw that Sayyiduna Ameer Kalal رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه came, brought him out with one hand and made him reach the other end. Then he woke up.
