| From Place to place spreading out the light of
guidance and righteousness he reached out "UCHH
Shreef", which is an axis to the descendants of
Hazrat Sheikh Syed Abdul Qadir Jillani and a hub
of grace, favor and bounty of Qadria order. Mian
Mir rewarded honor of hospitality to the noble
personage and the valuable son of UCHH Shreef
"Hazrat Abu Saeed Fateh Ullah Masoom Gillani" (the
first caliph and the deputy of Sai Hazrat Mian Mir
Sahib Ji). Hazrat Abu Saeed was powerful cleric of
Muhammadan law and the pronounced professor of his
times. His actual name was "Syed Fateh Ullah
Gillani" and family name (patronymic identity) was
Abu Saeed, his title was Khwaja Masoom, or Mulla
Masoom, which was bestowed from threshold of Sai
Mian Mir Ji or Mulla Abu Saeed Khan used in
history references. He perceived the given title,
a component of the faith and overlooked all other
names. That's why heir apparent of Hind Shahzada
Darashikoh in his manuscript (Sakeena-Tul-Awliya)
on Hazrat Mian Mir at various places calls him
"Abu Saeed", "Mulla Saeed", "Khwaja Masoom",
"Mulla Masoom", "Khan e Jahan", "Abu Saeed Khan",
and "Khan e Khana" (chief of the chief) are also
available. Other authors also used titles like
Makhdom-ul-Asr, and Makhdom-ul-Mashaikh etc.
In his institution, pupils from far boarded to
fulfill the thirst of knowledge. Abu Saeed had two
sons, Syed Saeed Ud Din Gillani, titled by "Surkh
Poosh" was the elder one. He was lunatic and
acceptable close to Allah by birth. He was free of
world dependency therefore never married. He was
buried next to Hazrat Abu Saeed in Dharam kot
Randhawa, Amritsar. Younger son was Syed
Zain-Ud-Din Gillani Qadri renowned as
Zain-Ul-Awliya, the one by whom, the genealogy of
Abu Saeed trickled down. In present times, Sai
Makhdom Syed Chan Pir Qadri Gillani is the
authority and standard bearer of his
"Excellencies", and Gaddi Nasheen of Sai Hazrat
Mian Mir Ji at Lahore Pakistan.
Hazrat Abu Saeed had one daughter, Makhdoma
Syeda Fatima Gillani who was married with Abu
Saeed's nephew in Uchh Shreef.
Mian Mir remained practicing spirituality for
three years at Abu Saeed's residence. Abu Saeed
served Mian Mir day and night with great purity.
He thanked Abu Saeed, as he was set to depart from
Uchh Shreef, and said "whatever demanded should be
granted ask Abu Saeed what do you need?" Abu Saeed
replied "Hazrat! It seems awful to stay away from
you, just want to be a plaintiff". Hazrat Mian Mir
accepted him in fealty and ordered him to first
accomplish all responsibilities and tasks from
Uchh Shreef and come to my permanent threshold
Lahore. |
