Sultan Bahoo writes 40 hadiths about the grandeur of the Fakirs in his book “Kaleed-ul-Tauheed Kalan”. To explain the grandeur of the Fakirs some of the Hadiths are mentioned below.
The Holy Prophet said, “There is a key for everything, and the key to paradise is the love of the Fakirs and Miskeens. Thence, on the Doomsday, there will be no sin upon them, and they will be seated with Allah.”
The Holy Prophet said to Abu Zar Ghaffari, “O’ Abu Zar! The Fakirs are those whose smile is prayer, whose humour is like glorification and whose sleep is charity. Allah looks towards them three hundred times a day. If one takes seventy steps to visit a Fakir, Allah grants him the reward of seventy accepted Hajj for each step. If one gives food to a Fakir in the time of need, that food will be added to his reward on the Doomsday in the form of Divine light.”
