Saiyid 'Abdus Salam visited Quetta; and in September he made a
journey to Bahawalpur, but the Nawwab of Bahawalpur refused to see
him; from Bahawalpur he travelled hj Lahore to Rawalpindi. He
arrived at Rawalpindi at the beginning of October and thence made a
flying excursion to Murree, where he met

Muhammad Ibrahim Khan, eldest son of the late
Afghan Amir, Sher "'Ali Khan, had been engaged in attempting to get
permission from the Amir 'Abdur Rahman for a visit to Kabul; the
Amir's answer, which arrived on the 25th of September, was unfavour
able. Later it transpired that the Amir suspected the Saiyid's relations
with his uncle the Naqib to be unsatisfactory, or at least that he found
this a convenient excuse for declining to receive him; apparently,
however, he sent him a present. On the 8th of October 1896 the two
Saiyids arrived at Peshawar together and were received with much
respect by a number of local Muhammadans. Saiyid Muhammad lodged
with Mufti Muhammad Ibrahim, and Saiyid 'Abdus Salam with
Ghulam Samdani, contractor. At Peshawar Saiyid Muhammad
had a meeting with Khawas Khan, Zakha Khel Malik of the
Khaibar, and was said to have asked him for Rs. 2,000; but the
astute Afridi only paid him Rs. 10 in cash and offered him a daughter
in marriage, 1 a proposal which Saiyid Muhammad evaded by repre
senting that he had already two wives. Saiyid ' Abdus Salam remained
at Peshawar for about a fortnight and then returned to Rawalpindi,
where he spent a month with

of November, on his way back to Karachi, he visited Dera Ismail
Khan, where large numbers of Afghan Powindas came out to meet him
and presented him with Rs. 700; but the Saiyid's health was at this
time delicate; and, finding the crowding of the devotees unpleasant,
ne shut himself up closely, during his stay, in the house where he
lodged. After further futile attempts to obtain an interview with the
Nawwab of Bahawalpur he finally left Karachi for Baghdad at some
time in December 1896. Meanwhile Saiyid Muhammad had not relaxed
nis efforts to induce the Amir to let him come to Kabul; but that ruler
was inexorable, and early in December the Saiyid quitted Peshawar for
Rawalpindi^ where he enjoyed the hospitality of

In January 1897 Saiyid Muhammad visited Lahore, where he lived
tor three weeks with Nawwab Fat-h 'Ali Khan; engaged in a correspon

and obtained Rs. 200 from Muhammad 'Ali Khan, a son of the
^te Nawwab Nasir 'Ali Khan, besides various sums, it was believed,
