ASTONISHING EVENTS OF CHILDHOOD:

At the age of 3, A'la Hadrat (alaihir rahmah) was once standing outside the Raza Musjid in Bareilly Shareef. An "unknown" person, attired in an Arabian garb, approached him and spoke to him in the Arabic language. Those who were present and witnessed this incident heard the young A'la Hadrat (alaihir rahmah) converse with the person in pure Arabic. They were surprised. The person who spoke to A'la Hadrat (alaihir rahmah) was never seen again in Bareilly Shareef!

A Majzoob (one drowned in his love for Almighty Allah) by the name of Hadrat Basheeruddeen Sahib (alaihir rahmah) used to live at the Akhoon Zada Musjid in Bareilly Shareef. He spoke harshly to anyone who visited him. A'la Hadrat (alaihir rahmah) wished to meet this Majzoob. One night, at about 11 o'clock, he set off alone to meet him. He sat respectfully for about 15 minutes outside the Majzoob's house. After some time, the Majzoob became aware of him and asked, "Who are you to Mawlana Raza Ali Khan (alaihir rahmah)." A'la Hadrat (alaihir rahmah) replied that he was the grandson of Hadrat Raza Ali Khan (alaihir rahmah). The Majzoob immediately embraced him and took him into his little room. He asked A'la Hadrat (alaihir rahmah) if he had come for any specific matter, but A'la Hadrat (alaihir rahmah) said that he had come to ask him to make Dua for him. On hearing this, the Majzoob, for approximately half an hour, made the following Dua: "May Allah have mercy on you, May Allah bless you."
