there. Wherever I would go, many poor people would already be there and if they would find anything eatable, everyone would rush to get it. I returned to the city to find something over there, but I could not find anything over there either.

Feeling weak because of extreme hunger, at last, I went to the Masjid and sat in a corner. After a little while, a non-Arab young person entered the Masjid having roti and roasted meat and started eating. I had a spontaneous desire to open my mouth at his every morsel because of extreme hunger but I made my Nafs understand about this act. Meanwhile, that non-Arab looked at me, brought food and served me. He asked me about my nationality and occupation. I replied: I live in Jeelan and I am gaining Islamic knowledge here. He asked me: ‘Do you know about a young person named ‘Abdul Qaadir who belongs to Jeelan?’ I replied: ‘I am the person you are looking for.’ Listening to it, he got nervous, apologized to me and said: ‘Your mother gave me 8 dinars to give them to you.

When I arrived in Baghdad, I had money for my living expenses but it took me so many days to find you that I ran out of money. It was the third day since I had been starving. Since I had no alternative, I have spent your money that I was entrusted with to buy this roti and meat for a meal. You may now eat this food with satisfaction because all this belongs to you in reality. Now I am your guest, not you.’ I comforted him and expressed my pleasure. When we finished the meal, I saw him off with the remaining food and some money. (Qalaaid-ul-Jawahir, pp. 9)
