says that 'once I met with a person in a jungle. I had never seen him before.
He offered me to be his companion. I accepted his offer. He put a condition of
his and our company. Condition was this that we both will not tell a lie with
each other and will not break promises. I accepted the condition and we together
went in the jungle. At a place, we sat for some rest. That person told me that
he wanted to go outside for some time and if I would sit there until he returned.
I agreed to sit and wait. Thus, that person left me alone in the jungle and did
not return for one year. After one complete year, when that person came there
back, he found me sitting at that place. It happened again that he took promise
of similar kind again and went outside and remained away for one year. He found
me there, where he had left me. At last, for the third time, again he left and
found me there according to my word
with him. This time, he had brought with
him some milk and bread along with him and revealed unto me that he was Khizar

was yours turn of the test. I gave you the most difficult test. Nevertheless, I
have never seen such brave and steadfast (and persistent) Wali in the

terms of determination and courage (and mettle)! Come! Let us eat this bread
and drink this milk together! Thus, I ate the food along with Khizar (Alaihis-Salaam
His wealth remained his companion all his life, O
friend, whoever sat with you even for only a breath. He
says that 'when I had become 'Wali e Waasil, who returns to creatures' and
reached Baghdad for the Guidance of creatures of God after having been
appointed for this office and started living Baghdad, one night, my chief
progenitor his highness Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa )
and it was the Order from Allah
Almighty to him to test every Wali .

and he
said that 'O Abdul Qadir
! Your
test is now over. It is Order of Allah
Almighty that you should now stop living
in jungles and deserted places and should reside in Baghdad. Allah
Almighty
desires to let right guidance to the countless people from your hand'. Hence,
he came to Baghdad, founded a school for religion, and started that matchless
and glorious chain of the education, instruction, advice, study and Talqeen
for
the creatures of Allah
Almighty; the example and likeness of which is hard to
find in the world!
