170 On a personal level, Hadrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad ra relate d that Hadrat Amman Jan ra discerned his finer sensibilities and character. She knew that her son was very independent and self - sufficient by nature. He did not like to ask anybody for anything, not even his mother. Perceiving this, Hadrat Amman Jan ra would take care of his needs automatically and like the rest of his siblings he felt very much loved by her. Hadrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad ra reminisce d that whilst he was a student at the Government College in Lahore, Hadrat Amman Jan ra would send him a larg e canister of dried fruit regularly each month. Like his elder brother, he would also turn for advice to his mother and trusted her as a sincere confidante. Hadrat Nawwab Mubaraka Begum ra has interestingly observed that with age her brother's respect and esteem for his mother increased so much that he would also revere her household helpers. He would go and visit her on his way to and from Mubarak Mosque, whenever time permitted. As soon as he had a small wage , he would regularly present a portion of i t to his mother each month. Hadrat Amman Jan ra had no need for this extra money, but in order to please her son and maintain his self - respect, she would accept it gracefully.
