The '''Bani''' of 15 Bhagats is recorded in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib. We often say, just to convince others that Sikhi loves all religions, that SGGS has Bani of Muslims and Hindus (and Sufis). But if we read some of their Bani, we can clearly see how they spoke out against various forms of worship/rituals of the Hindu and Muslim religions, that we link them to.

In the same Bani it is written 'Hindu Anna Turku Kana, Doha Te Gyani Siana' (A Hindu is blind and a Muslim has only one eye. The learned one is better than both). Na Hum Hindu Na Musalman (I'm Neither a Hindu nor a Muslim)

Above all, it is also said that most of the Bhagats met guru Nanak Dev Ji. Bhagat Kabir met Guru Nanak in Sultanpur, many bhagats such as Bhagat Ravidas met Guru Nanak in Ayodhya, where a Gurdwara now stands in memory of that.
