Abu Abdullah Basri
Abul Farj Baghdadi narrates that I was present in the gathering of Abu Abdullah Muhammad Basri in Baghdad when a woman entered. She said addressing Abu Abdullah, “Hadhrat you were present at the time when my mahr was agreed and set. Unfortunately I have lost my written proof. I would like you to accompany me to the court as a witness to the amount. He replied I will not do so until you present me with a sweet. The woman surprised assumed the Shaykh was jesting with her, but he assured her he was not joking and asked her to hurry as he would not attend court unless she gave him the sweet. At this the woman went away. Returning later, she took from her pocket a dry piece of sweet meat
wrapped in paper, and handed it to the Shaykh. All in the gathering were astonished at the peculiar behaviour of the saint but watched on. Hadhrat took the sweet, reducing it to crumbs discarded it amongst the gathering. Then he opened and read the paper in which it was wrapped and said, this is the very written proof that you have been searching for. Witnessing this whole incident the gathering was astounded.

Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Ashraf Randi
Once a man invited Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Ashraf Randi as guest in his home as he was keen to witness the miracles performed by him. In his desire to see a miracle the host delayed lighting a lamp after the sun had set that evening. Hadhrat Ashraf Randi took a handful of grass and whilst placing his finger in it said, “This is fire”. At this a fire began to burn. Using this we lit our candle lamps. lamps. Hadhrat Hadhrat could often take fire into his hands and it would cause him no harm.
