Hadhrat Nanotwi (rahmatullahi alaih) and Salaah with jamaat

Qari Ameer Hasan Sahib daamat barakaathum once mentioned:

“It was the habit of Hadhrat Moulana Qasim Nanotwi rahmatullahi alaih that he would make preparations for Salaah one hour in advance. Similarly, when Shah Wasiyyullah rahmatullahi alaih used to travel to any place, he would not find out what time is jamaat, rather he would enquire about the time of azaan.” (Kalimaat-e-Sidq wa Adl, p. 66)
