Once in the days of his youth Ghousal Azam,
Piran -e - Pir was sitting in the company of
Sheikh Hamadoo Bas with utmost respect.
When he went out, Sheykh Hamadoo said :-
"The foot of this Ajmi (Ghousal Azam) will
be some day on the neck of all the saints."
It is said that one day Ghousul azam was
sitting in his Rubat, surrounded by about fifty
such outstanding saints as Sheikh Ali Heti,
Sheikh Baqa son of batoo, Sheikh Abu Said
Telvi, Sheikh Abu Najeeb Suhrewardy,
Sheikh Qasib ul Ban of Mosul, and Sheikh
Abus Saood.
During the course of conversation with the
saints, Ghousal Azam said thus: -
"My foot on the neck of all saints".
Hearing these words, Sheikh Ali Heti came
near the platform and taking hold of the foot
of Ghousul Azam placed it on his neck, and
came under his fold. All the other saints bent
their necks low.
Sheikh Abu Said Toolali says that:
"When Gousul Azam uttered the words, 'My
foot on the neck of all saints' I witnessed the
Divine Light within my heart. The Holy
Prophet Mohammed, the angels and all the
saints were there bodily and spiritually.
There was not a single saint who had not
bent his neck."
