Haji Imdadullah on Mawlana Rashid Ahmad Gangohi - Part Two (http://deoband.org/2010/06/history/maktubat/haji-imdadullah-on-mawlana-rashid-ahmad-gangohi-part-two/)
From the needy servant Imdadullah Chishti, in the service of all my friends: This needy servant has recently received some letters from India, in which was written that some people harbour ill-thoughts concerning Molwi Rashid Ahmad [Gangohi], [and they wish to know] what they should make of him. Therefore, let it be announced and published on behalf of this needy servant that Molwi Rashid Ahmad is an Allah-fearing man of learning and an upright scholar. He is an example of the pious predecessors. His personality is the sublime combination of the exoteric (shari'ah) and esoteric sciences (tariqah). His days and nights remain occupied in seeking the pleasure of Allah and his Messenger (Allah bless him and grant him peace). He is preoccupied with the teaching of hadith. After Molwi Muhammad Ishaq ((Referring to the great-grandson of Shah Waliullah Dehlawi, Shah Muhammad Ishaq Dahlawi, who was among the foremost authorities of hadith in his time, the resort of the 'ulama of his era and heir to his grandfather Shah 'Abd al-'Aziz Dahlawi.)) that kind of dissemination of the religious sciences has uniquely continued with Mawlana in the entire sub-continent.
