After saying this he again died. In the meantime, grave was prepared and the shroud was arranged, but I said, ‘I will not carry out the funeral proceedings of such an ill-fated man who had been a blasphemer of Shaykhayn Karimayn i.e. Sayyiduna Siddeeq-e-Akbar and Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا and I even do not consider it good to stay near him anymore.’ Saying this, I left.
