Crumbs from the Cloth and the Miswāk on the Ewer: Midday and the Hours Before the Assembly

Answer

The midday meal. At about twelve or half past twelve the lesson ended, and the cloth was spread for the midday meal. Ḥaḍrat would say to those present, "The qibla has changed," and come to the cloth; the guests too took their places at it. Ḥaḍrat Wālā kept a constant eye on everyone: where bread was needed, where the curry had run out.
