A’zam removed his shroud and sat upright. People were scared and were struck with panic. He cried out: Don’t be scared, just listen to me! When people came closer he said, ‘I tell you the truth that just now my Murshid[1], Sayyiduna Shaykh ‘Abdul Qaadir Jeelani قُـدِّسَ سِـرُّہُ الـرَّبَّـانِی honoured me with his presence and said, ‘Being my disciple you died without repenting! Get up and repent!’ My soul re-entered my body so that I could repent. After saying that, he asked for forgiveness for his sins and uttered the Kalimah[2]. Suddenly, his head turned to one side and he died.
Congratulations to the devotees and disciples of Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-A’zam because according to the saying of Sayyiduna Shaykh ‘Abdul Qaadir Jeelani قُـدِّسَ سِـرُّہُ الـرَّبَّـانِی his disciple, no matter how sinful he is, will not die until he repents.’
