The Nafs of the Saint
wished to join them in Jihad to become a Ghazi (fighter against
infidels). The Saint said to his Nafs that "I know you very
well. You want to deceive me because you will demand more food due to the hard
and tiring journey or will escape longer worship because of fatigue of journey
or will sleep long due to tiresome traveling". The Nafs said "it will
not be loss [as I want to become Ghazi]". The Saint said "O irreligious!
You are enemy of Lord. What concern you have in becoming Ghazi? Tell me
the truth. What interest you really have in it?" The Nafs said "I have
been suffering from hardships of hunger and thirst day and night. I have been
hurt every breath and every hour by the Sword of the Zikr and Fikr
and the Ishq
and Muhabbat. Hence, it is much better and the best thing that
I should be martyred by one blow of sword in battle with Kuffaar to get rid
from this torment". Hence, Faqeer Bahu
It is said that a Saint sent a
huge amount to another Saint. That Saint said unto him "that
thing that is considered by Allah
his enemy, why are you sending this thing disliked
by God to the Friend of Allah? Is this friendship? There are many
persons, who are its seekers. You give it to them". Hence, Faqeer is he, who never
considers the world and the People-of-Dunya as worthy of
attention because upon gazing upon it, one's heart becomes black. It is quoted that a Saint retired for
prayer in recluse that a king came to get the honor of seeing him and
presented him some money and valuables. Dervish said "O enemy of God!
What opportunity of vindictiveness, dissension and hypocrisy it is which you found
for me? 
Rahmatu-Allahe
Ta-aala Alaihe
says that Muhabbat,
even of the size of atom, is better than the Hajj (Muslim Pilgrimage),
Jihad, Zakaat
, Assalaat
(Prayers), Nawafil
(optional Namaaz) and the
entire worship done by the jinn, fairies, demons and human beings. But the True
Faqeer should be steadfast (and persistent) and firm in belief
on this Path of the Muhabbat and Absolute
sincerity with Lord because
Kaamil Faqeers have taken them onto the Martaba of Accomplishment
by this Ishq and Muhabbat. Their bosom became all rich with the Anwaar
of the Tajalliyaat because thousands Divine Mysteries
descend upon the heart of the Master of Ishq
and Muhabbat.
