Qāri Muhammad Tayyib Qāsmi said that his father – Hafiz Muhammad Ahmad – had mentioned that he had seen many pious people. However, there were three among them whom he had not only seen, but in fact, the memories of their lives were very clear and apparent before him. [Hafiz Muhammad Ahmad relates:]

Hāji Imdādullah Muhājir al-Makki‘s Expression of Servitude

The first of these three men was Hāji Imdādullah Muhājir al-Makki. Whenever he experienced any minor difficulty, he would moan and groan excessively.

Your reaction is completely the opposite.”
