From this it follows that the poet was not an actual disciple of Saiyad Ashraf 
Jahangir, as might he assumed from xviii, 1 and if. Malik Muhammad merely refers 
to him and praises him as his spiritual ancestor. A tradition makes him the poet’s 
mantra-guru, while Muhin’ d-din was his vidyd-guru, i. e., the one initiated him, and 
the other taught him, but this seems to bo very improbable, though not inconsistent 
with Malik Muhammad’s own language. Shaikh Diiniyal, the fifth in the line 
before the poet appears to have been a friend of the well-known Khwaja Khizr, 
who introduced him to his preceptor, Saiyad Raji Hamid Shah. Shaikh Burhan, 
Malik Muhammad’s spiritual grandfather resided at Kal’pi in Bundel’khand, and 
is said to have died at 100 years of age in A. H., 970, or A. D. 1562-63. See Rep. 
Arch Sur. Ind. xxi, 131. 
As the prophet Muhammad (see xii, 1 ) had four friends, so also had the poet 
Malik Muhammad. He tells us their names were Malik Yusuf, Salar Khiidim, Miya 
Salone and Shaikh Bade. Concerning these, see the introduction to this paper, and 
xxii, 1 and ff. 
The Urdu gloss concludes (I insert dates and other particulars in parentheses), 
< Those who consider that Hazrat ’Abdu’l-Qiidir Jilani (b. 1078, d. 1166) (God’s mercy 
be upon him) is descended from Saiyad Muhiu’d-din, and that Saiyad Raju Qattal 
(d. 1403) is descended from Saiyad Raji are far from being in the right. It is clear 
that the line of Qadariyas is descended from Hazrat ’Abdu’l Qadir Jilani. His 
preceptor was Hazrat Abu Saiyad. 
‘ Saiyad Raji! Qattal was full brother of Hazrat Saiyad Jalalu’d-din of Bukhara 
(who was known as Makhdum Jahaniyan Jahan (Gasht Shaikh Jalal), and was his 
disciplo.) He was a Suharwardiya by sect.
