The Martyr - Hazrat Sahibzada Abdul Latif — Page 42
The Martyr—Hazrat Sahibzada Abdul Latif Shaheed ra 42 migrated to Qadian—a few other students and I then set off on our journey back home from Qadian. Throughout the entire trip, Hazrat Sahibzada ra recited the Holy Quran. When we arrived in Lahore, we spent three or four nights in a small mosque near Mian Cheraghuddin’s old house so that we may buy a few books and later have them binded. Even though many friends lived nearby, we stayed at the mosque because Hazrat Sahibzada ra preferred solitude. On one of those days, Mian Mi’raajuddin came and informed Hazrat Sahibzada ra that food was ready. When we all got ready to leave, Mian Mi’raajuddin ended up taking us to another person’s house where many others were present. People all started to stand up and say to Hazrat Sahibzada ra, “Please sit here, please sit here. ” Hazrat Sahibzada ra angrily said to Mian Mi’raajuddin, “Have you brought me here because you think I seek respect from peo- ple?” After saying this, he walked out and I walked out with him. We did not have anyone with us who knew the way back to the mosque. Hazrat Sahibzada ra told me to lead the way, so I started walking without knowing where I was going and eventually Allah led us to the mosque. After the books were binded, we left Lahore and continued our journey by train. Throughout the whole journey, Hazrat Sahibzada ra recited the Holy Quran. When we reached Kohat, we hired a buggy to take us into the city. After entering the city, we paid one rupee in advance to hire a buggy to take us to Bannu the next day. The following morning, a government official came and forcefully took the buggy we had hired and said that it was needed for an important governmental matter. When the buggy driver did not show up, Hazrat Sahibzada ra sent me to fetch him.
