At this time a local ruler had sent him the deed of ownershipto two gardens and much land, along with the provisions and tools for their maintenance.The ruler had also made it clear that he was relinquishing all his rights to both the gardensand land. The master ... had not accepted that gift. Instead, he had lamented: “What have I to do with gardens and fields and lands? ... None of ... our spiritual masters had engaged in such activity.” Then he told an appropriate story: “... Sultan Ghiyasuddin, who at that time was still known as Ulugh Khan, came to visit Shaikh Fariduddin (and) offered some money and ownership deeds for four villages to the Shaikh, the money being for the benefit of the dervishes (sufis), and the land for his use. Smiling, Shaikh al Islam (Fariduddin) said: ‘Give me the money. I will dispense it to the dervishes. But as for those land deeds, keep them.There are many who long for them. Give them away to such persons.’ a . From where has this excerpt been taken b. What had local ruler sent to Shaikh Sahib ?What is the name of Shaikh Sahib ?
