Public Benefit by Kalim's Sayings

Public Benefit by Kalim's Sayings 
(Al-Nafa' Al-A'mim fi Aqwal Al-Kalim)
This is a booklet compiled by Maulana Muhammed Abdul Qawi Sahab (DB) and contains sayings of  Hazrat Shaikh Hakim Muhammed Kalimullah Sahab (DB) during his visit to Hyderabad (Deccan). Former wrote a letter to Hazrat Shaikh (DB) seeking permission to publish his sayings and, as is usual for the Elders in Imdadia Order, Hazrat Shaikh (DB) replied in the margin of the same letter. This letter, including the marginal reply by Hazrat Shaikh (DB) is published on the back cover of the booklet. This is what has been posted as a specimen of Hazrat Shaikh (DB)'s hand writing in the previous post. This letter, including the marginal reply by Hazrat Shaikh (DB), the Preface by the compiler Maulana Abdul Qawi, Forward by compiler's brother Maulana Abdul Mughni (DB) together with the text of the booklet should appear here later, Lord Most High willing. This is relevant in two ways. The obvious one is that it is natural addition to the present blog. The other reason  is that this booklet is one of the many sources that has influenced the present blog and in fact has decided part of the style (asloob). May Lord Most High compensate these contributors from His bounties.
