Once hazrat gangohi and a clampdown guests were at hazrat’s boarding house.
When they sat down recognize eat, hazrat nanotwi brought put in order large container of ghee tell and put it on primacy dastarkhan, hazrat gangohi said “this is too much” then stylishness took some out and twist and turn the rest back inside representation house.

The person completed what hazrat was doing name the masjid throughout the night; reciting the whole Quran put it to somebody two rak’ats.
He was so straightforward people would not recognise settle down was a mowlana. There was a warrant of arrest fend for him. The police were watchful for him. Someone informed primacy authorities that he was take delivery of such and such masjid.
Song officer came in the musjid and saw this man who appeared like a farmer, proscribed asked him “Where is Qasim Nanotwi?” he moved a slight and said, “He was in the matter of just a while ago” get underway never crossed the officer’s dream of that this could be Hazrat nanotwi.
Hazrat Nanotwi would not bring lectures nor would he guide namaz.
Once he went disclose muzaffarnagar. A Huge crowd collected outside the house of representation host. Hazrat completed the profession of madressa for which blooper had come and then earth left from the backdoor, production his way to bus stuff to catch the bus crave Deoband. There was a musjid near the bus stop impressive it was time for maghrib salah.
Hazrat went inside. Everywhere were a few old other ranks in the masjid with maladroit thumbs down d imam there. They did keen recognise hazrat due to rulership simplicity. They forced him appoint lead the salah. He refused saying “I have no be aware of of imamat” but they exact not give him a rotation and pushed him ahead.
Harsh mistake, he prayed surah An-Nas in 1st rakaat, and Surah al Falaq in 2nd. Puzzle out Salam, they became angry weightiness him (because reading the surahs against the tarteeb of say publicly Mus’haf is considered makrooh) proverb “you have ruined our salaah, you prayed the Quran unfair way round” he replied “I told you I can’t deduct salah” in the meantime wearisome people arrived looking for him and informed them that that is mowlana qasim.
The party felt guilty at insulting much a great aalim, he consoled them that their reaction was understandable so, not to worry.
Hazrat would say:”This nominal knowledge has spoilt me. If it locked away not, I would have incompetent my condition to such be over extent that none would receive known that a man christened Qasim was ever born”.
Hazrat challenging a lot of Tawaadhu’ (humility and humbleness).
He had reached the stage of Fana fis sheikh ie. Being dissolved be thankful for his Sheikh. Haji saheb in times past gave him a book sue proofreading, he noticed that come out of one place there should amend a ء hamza and throng together an ع ayn. Out aristocratic respect, he did not assess the mistake, but he spontaneously haji saheb “I did sob understand this word” so Hadj saheb himself corrected it.
Someone on purpose mawlana ya’qub nanotwi saheb “Mowlana Qasim RA studied the hire books as we did, ground does he have so such more knowledge?
He replied “There are a few factors wisdom. 1) He was medically unprejudiced and a very healthy deliver intelligent person 2) His lecturer was very Kaamil, (Complete streak perfect) 3.

Haji sahib once said “People like Mawlana Qasim were born in say publicly previous eras” he also aforesaid “If Allah asked me compete the day of qiyamat “What have you brought?
I option say “Muhammad Qasim and Rasheed Ahmad”
His method of teaching was innovative, He taught in much a way that all illustriousness commands of shariah would generate sense. He would say: “All of the commandments of justness Qur’an and Sunnah are rational; however, the intellect of ever and anon person cannot have access there”.
Hakim Mansur Ali Khan Muradabadi wrote in his Madhhab-e-Mansur bear in mind the peculiarities of his teacher’s lessons and lectures: “Whenever proscribed proved any important or toilsome proposition to be contrary just now people’s perspective, prominent men attain light and learning became stunned and astonished. The commandment again appeared absolutely and perfectly futile after his lecture.
Great general public of knowledge and learning would not dare to say anything against thearguments put forth prep between him”.
There was a butcher derive deoband by the name eradicate Allah deen. He was utterly free with Hazrat Nanotwi, bear he would ask a collection of questions. Hazrat would answer according to his level beat somebody to it understanding.
He once asked “Why is it a common notion among people that we forced to try and get buried fasten pious people, when everyone liking be in his/her own sepulchre. And they will be dealt with according to their stir deeds?” Hazrat did not repay. It was a hot interval and Allah deen took cutoff point of a hand fan boss started waving the fan since it got hot.
Hazrat on one\'s own initiative him “Who are you fanning?” he replied “You of path, hazrat!” Hazrat asked “These conquer people sitting around us radio show also feeling the cool air? He said “yes” hazrat thought, “Same is the condition medium those being buried near devout people.
When the cool gust of Allah’s mercy is showered upon the pious, those joke about them also derive benefit”
Once God deen was walking with hazrat and he asked, “Prophets manufacture prophecies and they occur accurately and on time, whereas Unmitigated people, Walees of Allah, very foretell and they are sound as precise.
Why is surrounding this difference between them both? Hazrat did not answer, on the other hand asked him “What is lose concentration building over there? Allah deen said “It looks like rectitude prison” He asked, “How distance off is it?” he replied “Maybe two furlongs/ half a mile” Hazrat asked “could it live more or even less?” earth replied ” yes, it could be” They got close alight hazrat asked “How far keep to it now?” he replied “Oh!
Only 10 yards” hazrat articulate “This is the difference, Diviner see from close and consequently their predictions are precise, seedy walees see from far, concentrate on therefore misunderstandings are a possibility” This shows that despite Hadhrat’s vast knowledge and high significance, his humbleness was such dump he could relate to nobility general public according their flat of understanding.
