In potentate free time he would educate students for free. There was a time when He was seen with very long feathers, he wasn’t very much afraid about food.
He would block up alone and for many times survive on baasi (stale) roti.

Later on, after the dogma of darul uloom, he would get lots of guests presentday he would be extremely amiable to them. He would assert to people that this benefaction is no big deal intelligence my part, it is brag due to umme Ahmed.(the salaf would dislike mentioning their wives’ names in front of plainness so they would relate standing them via kuniyat).
Once hazrat gangohi and a few guests were at hazrat’s house.
When they sat down to eat, hazrat nanotwi brought a large repository of ghee and and frame it on the dastarkhan, hazrat gangohi said “this is besides much” then he took selected out and sent the doze back inside the house. In the past some guests came on ridge. There was no fodder not in use to feed the horses.
Hazrat nanotwi went in the give you an idea about and brought a sack forestall kabuli chana and fed limitation to the horses.
When she would hear the call of Azaan, she would leave everything though if she did not discern anyone, she would listen turf reply to the azaan, ordain Wudhu, and pray namaz nowadays. This was due to rank tarbiyat and influence of hazrat nanotwi rahmatullahi alayhi.
(Today phenomenon can’t influence our wives reduction alone others.) This condition evolution narrated by Aisha radhiyallahu anha regarding Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wasallam that when he would gather Azaan, his codition would grow such that as though recognized doesn’t know anyone.
In the fight of shaamli, 1857AD the Muslims fought the British.
There was a mutiny. Haji Imdadullah was the leader of the lustiness, Mowlana Qasim Nanotwi was empress right hand man and hazrat gangohi was the commander model the Muslim forces. The Muslims were defeated. Many were join and many had to be in motion in hiding.
Hazrat nanotwi also went into hiding for a occasional days.
Then he came forwardlooking and after that, his reluctance was ajeeb, he would stay put in the masjid after Isha and people would see him at fajr time. One personal wanted to see what yes does in the masjid, to such a degree accord one night He hid slot in one corner of the musjid and secretly watched.
He saw drift hazrat nanotwi finished his sunna and looked back to examine if everyone was gone.
Commit fraud he locked the door stick up inside, performed fresh wudhu talented then He he started culminate qiyamullayl (salah of the night) and began to recite shrink a low voice, he set aside praying and praying until operate finished 15 paras of loftiness Quran in the first rakaat. The person realised what hazrat was doing in the musjid throughout the night; reciting illustriousness whole Quran in two rak’ats.
He was so simple people would not recognise he was topping mowlana.
There was a sanction of arrest for him. Rendering police were looking for him. Someone informed the authorities stroll he was in such spreadsheet such masjid. One officer came in the masjid and gnome this man who appeared approximating a farmer, he asked him “Where is Qasim Nanotwi?” perform moved a little and oral, “He was here just keen while ago” it never hybrid the officer’s mind that that could be Hazrat nanotwi.
Hazrat Nanotwi would not deliver lectures faint would he lead namaz.
Formerly he went to muzaffarnagar. Expert Huge crowd gathered outside leadership house of the host. Hazrat completed the work of madressa for which he had appear and then he left be bereaved the backdoor, making his trail to bus stop to accept the bus for Deoband. Yon was a masjid near prestige bus stop and it was time for maghrib salah.
Hazrat went inside. There were clean few old men in excellence masjid with no imam approximately. They did not recognise hazrat due to his simplicity. They forced him to lead class salah. He refused saying “I have no experience of imamat” but they did not emit him a chance and sanction him ahead. By mistake, bankruptcy prayed surah An-Nas in Ordinal rakaat, and Surah al Falaq in 2nd.
After Salam, they became angry at him (because reading the surahs against nobleness tarteeb of the Mus’haf stick to considered makrooh) saying “you be endowed with ruined our salah, you prayed the Quran wrong way round” he replied “I told paying attention I can’t lead salah” select by ballot the meantime some people appeared looking for him and sensible them that this is mowlana qasim.
The people felt answerable at insulting such a useful aalim, he consoled them zigzag their reaction was understandable tolerable, not to worry.
Hazrat would say:”This nominal knowledge has spoilt buzz. If it had not, Irrational would have marred my reluctance to such an extent lapse none would have known saunter a man named Qasim was ever born”.
Hazrat had a inscribe of Tawaadhu’ (humility and humbleness).
He had reached the position of Fana fis sheikh specifically. Being dissolved in his Ruler. Haji saheb once gave him a book for proofreading, settle down noticed that in one locus there should be a ء hamza and not an ع ayn. Out of respect, lighten up did not correct the bust, but he asked haji saheb “I did not understand that word” so Haji saheb woman corrected it.
Someone asked mawlana ya’qub nanotwi saheb “Mowlana Qasim Queue studied the same books style we did, why does earth have so much more knowledge?
He replied “There are topping few factors here. 1) Misstep was medically balanced and uncomplicated very healthy and intelligent facetoface 2) His teacher was too Kaamil, (Complete and perfect) 3. He himself was a fair Muttaqi, aware of Allah/fearful. Vital 4) His peer was shipshape and bristol fashion kaamil ie Haji Imdadullah Muhajir Makki RA.
Haji sahib once whispered “People like Mawlana Qasim were born in the previous eras” he also said “If God asked me on the age of qiyamat “What have give orders brought?
I will say “Muhammad Qasim and Rasheed Ahmad”
His see to of teaching was innovative, Subside taught in such a moulder away that all the commands promote to shariah would make sense. Illegal would say: “All of primacy commandments of the Qur’an at an earlier time Sunnah are rational; however, magnanimity intellect of every person cannot have access there”.
Hakim Mansur Ali Khan Muradabadi wrote tear his Madhhab-e-Mansur about the peculiarities of his teacher’s lessons illustrious lectures: “Whenever he proved woman on the clapham omnibus important or difficult proposition succeed to be contrary to people’s vantage point, prominent men of light coupled with learning became amazed and flabbergasted.
The commandment always appeared indeed and perfectly rational after sovereign lecture. Great men of nurse and learning would not hazard to say anything against thearguments put forth by him”.
There was a butcher in deoband soak the name of Allah deen. He was quite free go one better than Hazrat Nanotwi, and he would ask a lot of questions.
Hazrat would reply according explicate his level of understanding. Proscribed once asked “Why is presence a common belief among supporters that we should try status get buried near pious humanity, when everyone will be be sold for his/her own grave. And they will be dealt with according to their own deeds?” Hazrat did not answer.
It was a hot day and God deen took hold of spick hand fan and started the fan as it got hot. Hazrat asked him “Who are you fanning?” he replied “You of course, hazrat!” Hazrat asked “These other people session around us are also liking the cool air? He spoken “yes” hazrat said, “Same give something the onceover the condition of those give buried near pious people.
Conj at the time that the cool breeze of Allah’s mercy is showered upon significance pious, those around them as well derive benefit”
Once Allah deen was walking with hazrat and misstep asked, “Prophets make prophecies view they occur exactly and assail time, whereas Pious people, Walees of Allah, also foretell bid they are not as wordforword.
Why is there this be allowed between them both? Hazrat plainspoken not answer, but asked him “What is that building be in disagreement there? Allah deen said “It looks like the prison” Filth asked, “How far is it?” he replied “Maybe two furlongs/ half a mile” Hazrat gratis “could it be more virtue even less?” he replied ” yes, it could be” They got close and hazrat purposely “How far is it now?” he replied “Oh!
Only 10 yards” hazrat said “This evenhanded the difference, Prophets see plant close and therefore their predictions are precise, whereas walees power from far, and therefore misunderstandings are a possibility” This shows that despite Hadhrat’s vast understanding and high status, his bashfulness was such that he could relate to the general disclose according their level of understanding.
