At the shrine of Sabir, Baba was provided with a room to sit in, and a brick platform was raised for the poor to stand on, to enable Baba to wash their feet and bow down on them. Baba had covered his head with a scarf and appeared to be in a pleasant mood. At 9:00 A.M. the caretaker of the shrine brought a list of the 50 deserving poor, who formed a queue. Four rupees were to be given to each as prasad after the ritual bowing down. When Baba was to hand them the prasad, upon receiving it, each was to say: "May Allah help you! May Allah give you good health! May Allah bless you!" Kishan Singh wiped the feet of the first poor person after Baba had washed them. Looking gravely at Kishan, Baba again washed that man's feet, and he himself wiped them again and placed his forehead on them. Thus he showed Kishan that he wanted to do this work himself without any assistance from anyone.
This program was specifically for 50 poor people, but as three on the list had not showed up, three others from among those standing nearby were chosen. Baba washed, wiped, and bowed his forehead on their feet and presented each his love gift of money. Several other poor people had come there in anticipation of receiving monetary help, and they also were given the prasad of four rupees. The caretaker had helped much with the preparations for the success of the program, so Baba, after washing and bowing to his feet, gave him also a love gift of ten rupees. Another old man had also helped in the work and he too was accordingly given ten rupees. Meanwhile, the three persons absent from the original list appeared, and Baba offered them his love gift of money after the ceremony of washing and bowing to their feet. Those who received Baba's prasad of money included women, old, young, blind and lame, and also some members of the middle class. All were Muslims, as the Muslim caretaker had arranged matters.
After the poor work was over, Baba went inside the dargah and placed a silk carpet on the floor of the tomb, which signified his reverence for the departed Perfect Master Sabir. Lying face down on his stomach before the shrine, Baba paid his respects and offered his homage. The caretaker recited prayers and ended by uttering: "O God, may the spiritual work of the person who has washed the feet of the poor be done to his satisfaction."
