The revered master [Ḥazrat Mawlā] was reared in the exalted company of the Master of all Creation [Ḥuzūr Mawlā al-Kul], the Chief of the Messengers [Sayyid al-Rusul] ﷺ. His consciousness dawned on the blessed lap of the Prophet ﷺ, and the very first vision to grace his awakened eyes was the resplendent countenance of Muḥammad RasūlAllāh ﷺ. He heard only the Prophet’s exalted speech, and his noble disposition was moulded only by him ﷺ. From the moment this august and enlightened soul attained discernment, he, undoubtedly, recognised and believed in none but the One True Lord, Almighty and Exalted. Never, even for an instant, was his pure being sullied by the filth of idolatry. It is for this reason and distinction that he was venerated with the illustrious title: “KarramaLlāh Wajhah” [may Allāh ennoble his countenance]. –Tanzīh al-Makānah al-Ḥaydarīyyah ʿan Wasmah ʿAhd al-Jāhiliyyah, p. 4, corresponding to al‑Fatāwā al‑Riḍawiyyah, v. 28, p. 436
