Volume 1 Letter 100

From: Hazrat Sheikh-ul-Hadith Sahib (May his secret be sanctified)

To: Al-Haj Muhammad Yakub Sahib, Bombay

Date: 4^th Ramadhan 1388/ 24^th November 1968

 

Most honourable and gracious Muhammad Yakub sahib, may your effulgence become far-reaching.

After the sunnah greeting. Today, at 12o’clock I received the letter you sent on 23^rd which gave me immense pleasure. May Almighty Allah accord you an excellent reward. In yesterday’s mail, I received Dearest Yusuf’s letter from Dubai written 28^th Sha'baan, he writes on arriving in Bombay, and as soon as he has purchased a ticket, he will send a telegram. However, this lowly one has repeatedly directed dearest Abdur-Raheem, both verbally and in writing that until dearest Yusuf’s arm has adequately healed, you do not have permission to return to Saharanpur. It is very cold here and the hospital facilities are inadequate, we send our sick to Delhi.

I am informed that the Hospital in Surat specialises in these types of injuries, with excellent facilities. Upon receiving this letter should dearest Yusuf and Abdur-Raheem be at hand, kindly request them to continue and inform me as to their wellbeing; however, do not attempt to return back here.

Haji Zamzami Sahib arrived from the onset of Ramadhan; he will depart for Delhi either today or tomorrow, a seat is reserved for Sunday from Delhi to Bombay. This useless one prays for you assiduously, for your relentless efforts day in day out may Almighty Allah accord you that which is fitting to his eminence and majesty. If it is expedient then communicate my salutations. This useless one prays for him also.

That is all. Salaam

Hazrat Sheikh-ul-Hadith Sahib
