RESPECT OF MUFTI E AAZAM TOWARDS SAYYEDS (RADIALLAH ANHU)

Ghausul Waqt, Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (radi Allahu anhu) had great respect and love for the Ulama and for Sayyids (Descendants of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). The respect which he showed towards them is beyond explanation. One day, in 1979, a lady came with her little child to ask for Ta'weez.It was a very hot day and she was informed that Mufti-e-Azame-Hind (radi Allahu anhu) was resting. The lady, however, was in great need for the particular Ta'weez. She asked someone to see if Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (radi Allahu anhu) was awake but nobody had the nerve of going near him while he was resting as they considered this to be disrespectful. Taking her child she commented, "What did we know that the words of Sayyids will not be heard in this place".It is not known how Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (radi Allahu anhu) heard this, but he immediately summoned one of the Mureeds. He instructed him to call the lady and not give her grief.The woman then sent her child to Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (radi Allahu anhu). He asked the child's name and showed great love and respect towards this young child. With great affection, he placed his hand on the child's head. He even asked someone to bring an apple for the child. From behind the curtain, he spoke to the lady concerning her problem and immediately wrote a Ta'weez for her. Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (radi Allahu anhu) then sent a message to his family requesting that the mother and child should only be allowed to leave after the heat became less intense; that they should be well entertained and that no shortage should be spared in entertaining them
