Part I—Shahzada Sahib’s Arrival in Kabul 11 prayers, he had the carriage stopped in order to pray. It began to rain as they were praying, but Shahzada Sahib ra kept praying in enjoyment and did not hurriedly finish the prayers. Upon night- fall, Shahzada Sahib ra and his students spent the night at an inn in a village called Khorm. He ordered for a goat from the owner of the inn and had it slaughtered and cooked. He himself ate the food and also fed the workers at the inn. Eventually, the caravan arrived in Bannu where Shahzada Sahib ra also owned land. After spending a few days in Bannu, he went to Khost. Along the way, there was a village called Dor. The leader of this village was a close friend of Shahzada Sahib ra and was delighted to see him. He hosted Shahzada Sahib ra and had a goat slaughtered for a meal. Here, Shahzada Sahib ra delivered a speech here and gave advice to the people attending the dinner. When the people of his village in Khost heard of Shahzada Sahib’s ra arrival, they came the next morning on horses to welcome him back home. Thus, Shahzada Sahib ra and his students returned to his village of Syedgah with the caravan on horses. Shahzada Sahib’s Arrival in Kabul Before going to Kabul, Shahzada Sahib ra wrote a letter to one of his students named Muhammad Hussain, who was one of the highest-ranking officers in the Afghan army. In the letter, he asked Muhammad Hussain to request the King for permission for him to come to Kabul and have an audience with him. Shahzada Sahib ra wanted to ask for permission because prior to leaving for his trip, he had obtained approval from the King to perform Hajj.
