its amazing how these great ulama reffered to each other as MAULWIS yet they were giants of their time as Mawlana Riyasat ali mentioned Sayyidi Alahazrat as Maulwi on the said page also how Alahazrat addressed Sadrush Shariah as Maulwi. it was substance over form back then. Its sad to see how knowledge among st scholars decreased but titles significantly lengthened over the years even a 4 year dars e nizami graduate is referred to as Hadrat Allama
perhaps this is posted elsewhere. this one by mawlana sayyid nayimuddin muradabadi sadrul afadil: https://archive.org/details/AlTahqeeqatSyedNaeemUdDinMuradabadiRA
i stumbled on this short risalah by mawlana riyasat ali shahjahanpuri refuting muhannad. the date printed on this risalah says October 1919 CE which is Muharram 1338 AH; about two years before the passing of Alahazrat in 1340 AH. also in the risalah, the author does not mention alahazrat posthomously (see p.10) it appears that al-muhannad was circulated at least in 1919 CE; whether it was published already or just being circulated for signatures/endorsements is not clear. anyway, the obvious lies and deceit of muhannad are refuted. but it is trying to shame the utterly shameless. laa Hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. https://archive.org/details/AlTahqeeqatLeDafaAlTahreefatByMolviRiyasatAliShajahanpuri1
