In Begumat ke Aansoo, Khwaja Hasan Nizami describes a meeting of a saint, Hazrat Allah Baksh Chishti Sulaimani Tonsvi with Bahadur Shah II. The saint attributed the decline of the Mughal Empire to Muhammad Shah who had made the mistake of willing his grave to be between the shrines of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya and Hazrat Amir Khusrau, thus separating the master and disciple.
