Pearl 1: Fazal Kareem Khan Hussain (Assam,India) was a student at Darul-uloom Deoband during the year in which Shaykhul-Islam Hussain Ahmed Madani (RA) passed away and studied some of the Lessons from the Shaykh (RA), himself. Fazal Kareem Khan Hussain narrates that Shaykh (RA) used to pleasantly and happily answers all the questions which were posed during his lesson, no matter how absurd or irrelevant the questions were Shaykh (RA) never got angry or showed disdain towards the students. Last year a student started asking too many questions to the extent that the other students felt the excessive questioning and tried to rebuke him but Shaykh (RA) reprimanded all the students and told the one asking the question, “You may ask and I shall answer”. Students came up with another tactic to stem the flow of excessive questions from their fellow student. They knew the love of Shaykhul-Islam Hussain Ahmed Madani (RA) for his beloved teacher Shaykhul-Hind Maulana Mahmoodul-Hasan Deobandi (RA) and his desire to imitate him so they replied, “...But Shaykhul-Hind used to reprimand students on these sorts of questions?” Shaykhul-Islam Hussain Ahmed Madani (RA) replied, “Shaykhul-Hind (RA)’s lecture (of Hadeeth) was so thorough and encompassing that there was no need for further questions as all the doubts were removed during the Lecture. Who am I and where is my knowledge (in comparison)? So how can I show anger or displeasure (at asking questions)?” Source: "Al-Jamiat"/ "Shaykhul-Islam Number" and the book printed by Jamiatul-Ulama Hind (India).
