Hence he was revered by both Muslims and Hindus. But when Kabir died, his Hindu and Muslim followers argued over his last rites. (Muslims bury their dead, whereas Hindus are cremated.) One popular legend says that as the two groups were fighting around his coffin, when they finally opened the coffin, they found Kabir's body missing and in its place were flowers. So two tombs were built for Kabir side by side — a samadhi where Hindus worship and a dargah where Muslims pay homage. Each following believes that theirs is the real grave. Baba paid his respects at both places.
After visiting the shrines dedicated to Kabir, Baba had about 50 poor persons fed in Maghar (which lessened the burden of their grain sacks). All the rest of the surplus provisions, which they had carried with them from India for their journey in Persia, were distributed among the poor, and the large empty jars were given to the stationmaster.
During their stay at Maghar, a conflict arose between a group of wandering sadhus. Baba intervened and stopped the quarrel. He explained to them about the way of life they should be leading if they were real sadhus and had renounced the ephemeral world. Soon after, Baba and the four remaining mandali (Adi, Gustadji, Masaji and Vajifdar) left Maghar for Kanpur in tongas and stayed at a dharamshala there. They bathed in the Ganges River and later fed a few more poor persons along the banks.
When they boarded a train at Kanpur, Baba instructed Vajifdar to return to Bombay, Masaji to go to Poona, and Adi and Gustadji to Ahmednagar. Baba told Gustadji and Adi to select a place within a radius of five or six miles from Sakori where he could stay with the mandali. The four men proceeded to their destinations, and Baba left the train at the Itarsi station alone.
Baba was so tired that as soon as he had set foot on the station platform he lay down, resting his head on his bedding. A ticket collector was watching from a distance and, becoming suspicious, shouted, "Arrest that man! He is a ticketless traveler!"
In an intimidating manner he approached Baba, who pulled out his ticket and said, "Here is my ticket, sir!"
At that moment, the man was stunned by the glow he saw on Baba's face. He bowed to him and left Baba alone.
