On the death of Sheykh Ferīdūn, Chelebī Husāmu-’d-Dīn was appointed by Jelāl his assistant in place of the deceased saint. For another ten years these two spiritual friends worked together in perfect unity as Superior and Assistant. Husām was surnamed “the Juneyd and the Bāyezīd[30] of the age,” “the Key of the Treasuries of God’s throne,” “the Trustee of the Treasures on earth,” and “God’s next Friend in the World.” 2. Husām once made his obeisance to Jelāl, and related to him that, when the disciples recited the poetry of the Mesnevī, and became entranced, he had himself seen a company of invisible ones, armed with clubs and scimitars, keeping guard over them. If any one did not listen to those sacred words with reverence and believing, the clubs and swords were brought into play, and he was hurled into the pit of hell-fire. Jelāl confirmed, as being a fact, all Husām had related. 3. Husāmu-’d-Dīn was very eloquent, pious, and God-fearing. He would never use the water, even, of the college, for drink or for ablutions; but always brought his water from his own home for those purposes. He distributed, to the very last farthing, the whole of the revenues of the college among the disciples. 4. Sultan Veled and his friends went one day to Husām’s garden. Some of the disciples felt a desire to eat of some honey, but had said nothing on the subject. Husām read their thoughts. He therefore ordered his gardener to bring some new honeycomb from a certain hive. More, and more, and still more comb was brought, until all were satisfied; still, the hive was yet full. When they left his garden, Husām sent the hive with them; and for a long time it supplied all their wants. 5. A severe drought afflicted Qonya and its environs. Prayers for rain were publicly offered without avail. Recourse was now had to Husāmu-’d-Dīn, who was begged to intercede for the people, and to pray for rain. He first went to Jelāl’s tomb, there performed his devotions to God, and then put up the prayer for rain, his disciples weeping as they chanted “Amen.” Clouds now began to collect and lower; shortly after which an abundance of rain was vouchsafed. 6. Not only were all the revenues of the college, arising from its endowments, committed by Jelāl to the sole administration of Husām, but, whatever gifts and contributions were offered by princes and friends, in money or in kind, they were all consigned to his care, to augment the resources of the general fund. Jelāl’s family, and also his son, though often pinched, fared as the disciples. 7. The disciples were both surprised and scandalised, at one time, by Husām’s publicly speaking very much in praise of certain individuals who bore an extremely bad character, while he disparaged certain others who were noted for their pious lives.
