His spiritual sight was so powerful, that when he embraced anyone, or placed his
sight on him, then he would become so pure, that his heart would divorce itself
from the world and everything in it. He was one of the greatest Imams of Fiqh in
his era. He was a muqalid of Imam Ahmed bin Hambal Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho.
Hadrat Abu Saeed Mubaarak Makhzoomi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho is the founder of
Baabul Azj, the most famous madrassa in Baghdad Shareef. He handed this madrassa
over to Hadrat Ghaus-e-Azam Jilaani Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho in his physical
life. Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho taught at this Madrassa, and
his beloved children taught in it after his wisaal.

"Shaykh Abdul Qaadir Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho wore the Khirqa from me and I from him, and each of us attained blessings from the other."
He was also a great Saahib-e-Karaamat and held a very exalted position in the
chain of wilaayat. The incident relating to how Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam Radi ALLAHu

When he woke up and went outside, His Peer, Hadrat Abu Saeed Mubarak Makhzoomi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho said, The foot of this non-Arab is such, that in his era, his foot will be on the shoulders (necks) of all the Awliyah Allah, and this will occur when he says, This foot of mine is on the shoulders of all the Awliyah Allah, he will say this, and all the Awliyah will lower their necks.”
