He had once heard of the prominence and piety of Shaikh-ul-Hind Moulana Mahmood-ul-Hasan rahmatullahi alaih. Hence, he decided to travel to Deoband and pay him a visit. It was during summer. When he arrived at the home of Shaikh-ul-Hind rahmatullahi alaih he met a person dressed only in a lungi and a vest. He introduced himself to him and said, \u201cI have come to meet Hadhrat Moulana Mahmood-ul-Hasan Sahib.\u201d This person welcomed him in with a lot of respect and seated him saying, \u201cYou will soon meet him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0Whilst waiting, this person served Moulana Ajmeri with refreshments. Moulana Ajmeri told him, \u201cKindly inform Hadhrat Moulana Mahmood-ul-Hasan.\u201d This person replied, \u201cDon\u2019t worry and make yourself comfortable.\u201d After a little while, this person now brought some food and insisted on Moulana Ajmeri that he partakes of the meal. Moulana Ajmeri told him, \u201cI have come to meet Hadhrat Moulana Mahmood-ul-Hasan. Please inform him.\u201d This person told Moulana, \u201cHe has been notified. Partake of the meal and you will meet him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After Moulana Ajmeri partook of the meal, this person began fanning him. When this continued for some time, Moulana Ajmeri became annoyed and said, \u201cYou are wasting my time. I have come to meet Moulana and it has been so long yet you have not let me meet him.\u201d This person then said, \u201cThe reality of the matter is that there is no Moulana over here. However, this insignificant servant\u2019s name is Mahmood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hearing this reply, Moulana Ajmeri was totally astounded and realised the worth of Hadhrat Shaikh-ul-Hind rahmatullahi alaih.
