Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Rislaan Misri
Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Rislaan Misri Abu Abdur Rahman would sell a shirt in exchange for a Dirham. If his customers gave him a real Dirham in exchange for the shirt the neck would be open, however if they attempted to trick him with a fake one they would find the neck closed. Then they would come back to Abdur Rahman pay another Dirham and in return he would rectify the shirt.

Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibrahim Abu Abdullah al Qurashi Hashmi
Shairani states that one of his miracles was that he would take a pact from his companions that they only cook one dish in their homes and refrain from having a variety so that then there would be no difference between them.
Coincidentally one day one of Hadhrat’s mureeds asked his wife what she would like so that he could bring it home and she could cook it. His wife deferred the decision to her daughter and asked him to ask her preference. So the mureed approached his daughter and asked her,
“what do you desire today?” she replied, “You will not be able to give me what I yearn for”. Her father assured her he would be able to grant her request even if it was at the price of 1000 dinars. She spoke “I would like you to marry me to Qurashi”.
The saint Qurashi had become blind and suffered from leprosy, generally women were not attracted to this type of man. In obeying her request her father then set forth towards Qurashi and informed him of the situation. Qurashi asked for the Qadhi to be summoned. The Qadhi came and the marriage was officiated.
The young girl was adorned and left in the company of the Shaykh. When everybody had left the Shaykh retired to the washrooms but when he emerged his appearance was changed. A beautiful, young, finely dressed man stood before the girl. She hastily covered her face assuming him to be an (outsider) somebody else. On seeing her reaction Shaykh reassured her that it was him Qurashi that stood before her. She asked again, and again he gave her his word. She then questioned, “What is this state?” He explained to her that he would live with her in this form so that she wouldn’t experience any trouble or grief. “My original form will remain for the rest of the people, but you must not disclose any of this till
the day I die” .She promised him she wouldn’t tell anybody “but I prefer and like the original form of you, that you have adopted for the people. To this Qurashi praised “May Allah reward you with good”, thus she continued living with him as he was.
Munadi has also stated that at prayer times Qurashi would be cured of his illness.
Maybe the wisdom in this was that he did not perturb or trouble any of the members of the congregation.
