HISTORY OF THE KHOJAS OF EASTERN TURKISTXN. 
But however this may be, our author, Muhammad Sadiq, records the 
lineage of the Khojas in a way which shows that they themselves could 
not have laid claim to the origin indicated by M. Schefer, for, in the 
pedigree which he gives, the names of the Khalifs Abu-Bakr and TJmar do 
not occur. He traces them directly from Fatima, the daughter of the 
Prophet and the wife of All, and thus classes them, in fact, with Sayyids. 
His account of their descent is contained in the first chapter of his book, 
but as Mr. Shaw has not reproduced it in his Epitome, it may be worth 
while to cite the passage here ; for, although the pedigree may have no 
historical authority, the extract may, in some respects, be of interest. Ho 
writes : “ Be it known to you that lineage [ nisbat ] is of two kinds, viz., 
spiritual and apparent. Apparent lineage means that so and so is the son of 
such an one, and so forth; and the succession comes to him. True [or 
spiritual] succession is allowed to those who carry out the working of the 
Prophet (may God bless and save him). This kind of lineage is of three 
sorts : firstly apparent knowledge ; secondly visible acts; thirdly internal 
acts. But apparent knowledge is of no use without internal grace. The 
knowledge of the Prophet (on whom be peace) was of two kinds : one of 
prophecy, which concerns the perpetual knowledge of holy law : another of 
saintliness [ Vilayat ], which concerns the perpetual knowledge of internal 
conditions. First 1 we will describe apparent lineage [of the Khojas]. 
The offspring of the Prophet (may God bless and save him) was the 
blessed Fatimah; 
her son was Imam Husain :
