ATTACK OF BEDOUINS ON SARKAR WARIS CARV AN BETWEEN MECCA AND
MEDINA
Arrangements were made for his departure to Medina in company of a caravan on a camel
accompanied by servants to look after him, but he disliked it and started alone on foot to
Medina. One day a caravan was about to be attacked by Bedouin raiders and the travellers
sought his aid and good offices. He went directly to the Bedouin marauders’ chief and boldly
chided him for attacking pilgrims in a land sacred to the memory of their world wide and God
chosen Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon Him) whose teachings they had of the
accompanying fee by the officials. Hearing this, our Saint expressed his desire to compensate
him for his financial loss and asked a wealth Bombay merchant, a disciple of his to pay the
amount. When Sarkar Waris took a sum of two hundred rupees to the Bedouin Chief he refused
to accept it expressing his sorrow to our Saint with tears flowing down his cheeks never to
attack pilgrims in future
