Once Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya (rahmatullahi alaihe) prepared food to be distributed in remembrance of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).
The attendants wanted to distribute the food among the people after all preparations were complete. However, Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya (rahmatullahi alaihe) instructed his attendants not to distribute the food at that time. After some time, the attendants asked permission to distribute the food. Again, Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya (rahmatullahi alaihe) instructed his attendants to wait and not to distribute the food.
At this, one of the attendants asked the reasons for the delay. Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya (rahmatullahi alaihe) replied: “I could not give instruction to distribute the food because I came to observe that the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) was looking when my brother Ali Ahmed Saber was distributing fried chick peas among the people. Because of this, I did not like to distribute the food at the time. I desired to distribute the food when the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) would give his kind attention to us.”
The distribution of food by Hazrat Saber (rahmatullahi alaihe) was such a pious act that the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) gave his blessed attention there.
