Fame of his scholarly expertise

Qadi Abu Sa’eed Mubarak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه had a Madrasah in Baghdad where he would teach students who came to learn. When Qadi Sahib became aware of the scholarly excellence of Ghaus-e-Pak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه and his righteous deeds, he handed over his Madrasah to Ghaus-e-Pak. Then, when people heard of the virtues and excellence of Ghaus-e-Pak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه as well as his expertise in knowledge, a great number of people began to come to his court to learn the sacred knowledge. (Seerat Ghaus-e-A’zam, pp. 58, summarised)

Affection towards the students

Dear Islamic brothers, Ghaus-e-Pak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه was an embodiment of knowledge and action and possessed great character. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه would show great affection towards the students and would be mindful of fulfilling even their smallest needs.

Assisting a student in the path of knowledge

Imam Ibn Qudamah Hanbali رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه was asked about Ghaus-ul-A’zam, so he replied: We became acquainted with Ghaus-e-Pak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه towards the end of his life and stayed in his Madrasah. We were looked after in such a way that he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه would sometimes send his son Sayyiduna Yahya رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه towards us and he would light a lamp for us. And he would send food for us from his own home. (Siyar A’laam-un-Nubala, vol. 15, pp. 183)
