The British officer welcomed him with respect and had a new map prepared and gave it to Hazrat Sahibzada ra. At the land division, a man came to Hazrat Sahibzada ra and said, “I have read a lot of books, but this particular book does not make sense. The author has claimed to be the Messiah and Prophet of this age. You read his book. I have written a response to it, but you are more knowledgeable and know better. You will be able to write a better response to this individual. ” Hazrat Sahibzada ra responded by saying that he is busy with work now, but that he would look at the book when he returns home. Hazrat Sahibzada ra used to say, “Our family tree was burned, but we have heard from our ancestors that we are the descendants of Ali Hajweeri Ganj Bakhsh Lahori rh and that one of our forefa- thers was the judge of the King of Delhi. This individual also had a library worth 90,000 rupees. Our ancestors who became rul- ers made a mistake; in preferring the government, they neglected education and all of those books were lost. I did not inherit any worthwhile property from my forefathers. I am forced to keep watch over land that I inherited. My heart does not like wealth. ” Hazrat Sahibzada ra had great knowledge of numerous fields of study and had knowledge of several things. Many students would come to learn from him. Once, a desire grew in his heart to visit India. This was before he became a ruler for the Governor. So, with this intention, he went to Bannu where he owned a lot of property. One of the village chiefs of the area would visit him and they would spar and play other sports together.
