janab ahmad raza ke business ke baare me tarah tarah ki riwayatein milti hain, kabhi kaha jata hai ki wo zamidaar gharaane se talluq rakhte they aur ghar ke kharch ke liye salaana rakam mil jaati thi jisse we apna guzar basar karte they, kabhi kabhi salaana milne wali rakam kaafi na hoti aur wah dusron se karz lene par majboor ho jaate, kabhi kaha jata hai ki unhe ghaib se kaafi maal wa daulat milta tha,
zafaruruddin bihari riwayat karte hain ki:-" janab barelwi ke paas ek band sandookchi(box) thi jise zaroorat padhne par hi kholte they, usme haat daalte aur maal, zewar jo chaate nikaal lete..
(anwar-e-raza 360, hayat ala hazrat 5)
janab barelwi ke bete ka bayan hai ki ala hazrat apne doston aur dusre logon me zyadati se zewar aur dusri cheezein baata karte they aur yah saara kuch we us chhoti si sandookchi se nikaalte, hamen hairat hoti hai ki na jaane itni cheezein Ismein kahan se aati hain
(hayat aala hazrat 57)
inke virodhi in par yah tohmat lagaate hain ki ghaibi haath ka sandookchi se koi talluk na tha yah asal me british govt. Ka haath tha jo unko apne maqsad ke istemal aur musalmano ke beech foot daalne ke liye madad deta tha..
Meri raaye(ehsan illahi zaheer shaheed) yah hai ki unki aamdani ka bada sources logon ki taraf se milne wale tohfon wa imamat ki tankhwah(salary) tha jis tarah hamare yahan riwaaz hai ki gaao(village) me apne ulama ki sewa(service) sadqa wa khairaat se ki jaati thi aur hamare khayal me yahi unki aamdani ka ek sources tha...
Ek baar we jaunpur apne kisi mureed ke yahan thahre to usne ek hazaar rupaiye ki rakam nazrane ke taur par unko di, unke ek mureed bayan karte hain ki ek din unke paas kharch ke liye ek damdi na thi, aap saari raat bechain rahe, subah hui to bhi taajir(business man) ka udhar se jaana huwa to usne 51 hazaar Nazraana aapki khidmat me pesh kiya, ek baar daak ticket(postal stamp) khareedne ke liye unke paas kuch rakam nahi thi to ek mureed ne unko 200 rupaiye ki raqam bheji,
( hayat ala hazrat 56-58)
baaki jahan tak zamindari aur sandookchi etc ka talluk hai to isme koi haqiqat nahi, yah kahin se bhi saabit nahi hota ki unka khaandaan kheti baadi etc se talluk rakhta tha, baaqi karamaaton ke naam par sandookchi etc. Ki kahani bhi mureedon ki nazar me sammaan ka rutba dene ke liye gadi gayi thi, besropa baatein hain warna sandookchi ki maujoodgi me nazraanon aur logon se udhar lene ki kya zaroorat thi??
Inshallah aur haqiqat bayan karenge...
