He translated the contents of some Sanskrit books in to Arabic in a book called "Qalila Wadhima". The 17th-century saint was known for his piety, humility and extreme eruditeness.
A Hafiz-e-Quran (he could recite the entire Quran from memory)since childhood, his recitation of the Quran could mesmerise any living being.
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 (1142AH,5th Shawwal), his enemies exhumed his body on some pretext after 22 days, but found to their shock a fresh and fragrant body.
Over the years, people"s faith grew in Syedi Hakimuddin"s miraculous powers.
As in Ajmer, it is said that whoever comes here 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.
Spread over an area of 125 acre, the Dargah-e-Hakimi complex looks more like a five-star resort than a place of religious significance. The only difference is that you get to enjoy the lush green lawns, the well laid out gardens, immaculate service and delicious, mouth watering food, for a pittance, compared to five star rates.
Thousands of people are served non-vegetarian food, complete with dessert, tender mutton and basmati rice, with fruit at times.
