When the Allamah Bahrul Uloom (r.a.) was staying in Mecca he was away from his relatives and followers. But inspire of this he had not forsaken the
welfare of the needy and the poor people, and the needs of the students.
One day his secretary told him that whatever cash was there is now finished and nothing now remains. He should now think seriously in this regard. Let us read the incident in the words of the assistant himself.
“The Sayed did not say anything in reply. It was his practice in Mecca to perform the tawaf in the morning then retire for sometime alone in a room. I used to prepare a Hookah for him and he smoked it daily. Afterwards he used to go to another room to give lecture to his students. On this particular day the Sayed heard a voice from outside. He became tense and restless. He told me to hide the hookah while he himself assumed the posture of a humble servant. He rushed to the door and opened it.
A respectful Arab gentleman entered and then went to the private chamber of the Sayed and seated himself. The Sayed followed him and sat down near him in a humble manner.
For an hour or so they conversed between themselves and then the respectful personality arose to depart. The Sayed stood up too, and led him to the door; then he kissed his hands and helped him mount the camel that was waiting outside.
The guest departed and the Sayed returned. But the colour of his
face had undergone a change. He gave me a promissory note, which was in his hand and said: Take this note to such and such shop owner who is a moneychanger at the Safa mountain and bringwhatever he gives in lieu of it.
I took the promissory note and went to the moneychanger. He took the note and kissed it respectfully. Then he said: “Get some coolies.”
I brought four coolies. The money-changer loaded upon them as many money-bags as they could carry. Then we returned home.
One day I decided to go back to the money-changer and investigate the matter and also find out about the person who had given the promissory note. I could not find any shop at that place. I enquired from a person about the money-changer. He replied: “Such a money- changer has never been seen in this place.” Then I realized that this was one of the divine secrets and it was due to the favour andblessing of Hazrat Hujjat (a.t.f.s.).
