18. Who shall I show off for?

The great adīš master Sayyidunā Muhammad Bin ‘Abdur Ramān عَـلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن once visited someone. During the conversation the man said to him, ‘I think, I sense showing off and pretence in your deeds.’ Instantly he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه picked a small piece of straw from the ground and said, ‘Who would I show off to with my deeds? I swear by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! All worldly people of the entire earth are of worth less in my eyes than this splinter.’ (Siyar A’lām-un-Nubalā, vol. 7, pp. 110)

19. We do not sell Ta’wīz here

Sayyid Ayyūb ‘Alī Sahib stated that once a man brought an offering of a brand new pot of a sweet dessert. A’lā arat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه asked, ‘Why did you trouble yourself?’ The man answered, ‘I came to say Salām to you.’ A’lā arat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه responded to his Salām and then remained silent for a short while, after which he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه asked, ‘Do you need anything?’ He responded, ‘Nothing, your honour! I only came to see how you were.’ A’lā arat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied, ‘Thank you.’ After another short silence, A’lā arat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه asked again, ‘Do you need anything?’ Again the man replied in the negative. Then A’lā arat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه instructed someone to take the sweet dish inside.

A short while later the man requested for a Ta’wīz. A’lā arat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said, ‘I asked you three times whether you needed anything, but you did not answer! Fine, wait there.’ He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه then had a Ta’wīz brought from his nephew, the late ‘Alī Amad Khān, (who was appointed to write Ta’wīāt) and gave it to the man.
