13. Sayyid Muhammad BTicdri, a Sayyid and follower of Mir Mu-

 fallen into a trance, a copious stream of water flowed down from 

 his sleeves and garments. On enquiry as to this phenomenon, the 

 Sayyid stated that one of his murids (disciples) was on a voyage to 

 Mecca ; and that his ship was sinking, whereupon he had prayed 

 to his Pir Murshid (spiritual director) for help ; which he (Sayyid 

 Muhammad Hicjari) had accorded, having, in spirit, plunged into 

 the water to his assistance ; hence the water from his garments. 



14. Sayyid Muhammad Nuri&tdni was distinguished in the build- 

 ing of the Jami' Masjid. It appears that the foundation kept 

 sinking, and would not hold together, till this Sayyid appeared and 

 personally applied to the work. He is also stated to have relieved 

 indigent persons by converting a lump of clay into gold.

 Amir Mantiqi, went to visit the king (Zainul-'abidin), and found

 displeased, he plunged into a river of water and was apparently 

 lost ; but shortly afterwards on the king's approaching his home, 

 he saw the Sayyid calmly sitting reading.
