[Bint-e-Jamshed Chughtai]
A person passed in front of the shop of hakeem sahib on foot. That person was not wearing any shoes. When hakeem sahib saw his the sign of his foot on sand, he sent one of his disciple at once and said that a guest has arrived in the house of someone in the village. Tell him not to give him beef to eat.
Our father had a lot of labor. One of them was from Dera-Ismail Khan who was very aged. Once upon a time he had himself checked up by the doctor and said that the doctors of today conduct so many expensive tests and even then they are not able to diagnose the illness well. Hakeems of olden times were well. They could understand the problem as soon as they held the pulse. Then he told the stories of the sages of his own area. These are specially presented for the readers of Ubqari magazine.
Only the Real Mother Can be The True Mother: He said that once upon a time when we were children, a mischief came to our mind that everyone says that our hakeem is wiser so let’s go and see. They were friends with me too. Hakeem sahib used to pass by our house after offering the prayers. The time was of after the prayers. We friends tied a thread with the leg of a buffalo and stood out of the house. Because the woman who did not go in front of hakeem sahib due to veil, he used to say that tie a thread with her wrist and bring her to me. And he would understand her pulse through the thread and give her medicine. So we friends tied a thread with the hoof of the buffalo and stood outside. When hakeem sahib passed we said that our mother is not feeling well. He said give me the thread. After holding the thread for a while he said, son only one’s own mother is true mother. With whose wrist you have tied the thread, give her more grass and food and she will give more milk. All of us got extremely ashamed and we also acknowledged that hakeem sahib is indeed true hakeem and we repented from doing such a bad thing again.
Do Not Feed You Guest With Beef, Otherwise...!!!: Once upon a time a person passed on foot from in front of hakeem sahib’s shop. That person was not wearing shoes. When hakeem sahib’s eye went on his footprint, he sent one of his pupils at once to the village to say that in whoever’s house in the village a guest has arrived, do not feed him with beef and bring that person to me. The poor pupil knocked on the door of a house and kept on asking whether they had any guest? At last resident of a house said that yes we had a guest in our house. The pupil then asked that where he is? They said, he is sleeping. Then the boy asked if they had given him food. The people said yes. The boy asked as what they had given him to eat? The people said that they had given him fried beef. Then the boy said that go and see the guest if he is alright because hakeem sahib had said not to give him beef. And when they saw him he had died.
Strange Cure for the Illness of Lordess: Just like this, the wife of a lord of a village was sick. She was not getting well from anywhere. Someone told about the hakeem sahib. When the servants brought her, the lord said that her wife was extremely punctual about veil and that she would not come in front. Hakeem sahib said, never mind! Spread cold ash in the room. Ask the lady to pass through the ash and go in the other room. When the ash was spread the servant came out. The lady came out of the room and passed over the ash and went to the other room.
Hakeem sahib saw the signs of the feet on the ash. After a while he came out of the room and said to the maiden to ask the lady to go back like this in the same way. Meaning to go back while placing the feet on the impressions. When the lordess passed through them she screamed at once. The lord became anxious and the hakeem sahib said that in her foot impressions where there were places about illness, I had struck needles there. Some infected blood was a reason for the illness. Due to striking the needle the dirty blood removed. Now the lady is absolutely healthy. And he gave some medicine with it too and in reality the lady became perfectly healthy in a short time.
