Hadhrat Yahya Pasha (May Allah shower His Mercy on him)

 
Hadhrat Shah Muhammad Yahya Qadri (May Allah shower His mercy on him) is the second son of Hadhrat Syed Muhammad Siddiq Hussaini (May Allah shower His mercy on him).  At the time of the passing of away of Hadhrat Siddiq Hussaini (May Allah shower His mercy on him), he was aged 10 years.  Hadhrat Khwaja Mahbooballah (May Allah sanctify his secret) loved him a lot.  Day and night, he would remain with Hadhrat Mahbooballah (May Allah shower His mercy on him).  Hadhrat Bahr Ul Uloom Maulana Hasrat (May Allah shower His mercy on him) says that some brothers of the Tariqa complained that they could not form the vision of Hadhrat Mahbooballah (May Allah shower His mercy on him) (Tasawwur-e-Shaykh).  Hadhrat Mahbooballah (May Allah shower His mercy on him) told them to form the vision of Yahya.  When they did it, they could form the vision of Hadhrat Mahbooballah (May Allah shower His mercy on him).  There is a narration that sometimes Hadhrat Mahbooballah (May Allah shower His mercy on him) said that Yahya and me are 2 swords in one scabbard.

 

As Hadhrat Yahya (May Allah shower His mercy on him) was very young at the time of his passing away, his whole education and instruction was done at the hands of his elder brother, Hadhrat Syed Uthman Hussaini (May Allah shower His mercy on him).  He gave the pledge of allegiance (Ba’yah) to his father, but got the Khilafah(authorization to accept and instruct disciples) from his elder brother.  However, in the Shajra (the chain of authorization), he detailed his own chain of authorization from his elder brother.
