The 17th-century saint was known for his piety, humility and erudition. He came to Burhanpur as his way of preaching Islam. He could recite the entire Quran from memory in childhood. Legend has it that one day while travelling through a forest, he was reciting the Quran when a tiger walked by. The animal sat before the scholar, and quietly walked away once the recitation was over. When Syedi Hakimudin died in 1730 AD (1142 AH, 5th Shawwal), his enemies exhumed his body after 22 days, but were shocked to find a fresh and fragrant body. Over the years, people's faith grew in his miraculous powers.
The word hakim denotes a healer and thousands of Bohras flock to his shrine, taking a mannat (vow) for shifa (cure) from disease and seeking health for both the body and the soul. It is said that whoever comes there with a prayer on her/his lips, does not go away disappointed. Those who have their prayers answered, their sick loved ones cured, their sinking businesses nursed back to health, and their other problems solved, come back with a generous offering.
Thousands of pilgrims are served non-vegetarian food, complete with dessert, tender mutton and basmati rice, and fruit. [8] [9]
