There, a butcher named Noor Nushtar, was grazing the goats. When he saw Guru ji, who were wearing the attire of an faqir, he brought a glass of milk for Guru ji. Guru Nanak asked the reason for him bringing the milk. The butcher replied:
I'm a poor man, I haven't a penny. I have heard, if we serve the faqirs, their blessings become true. Thats why I bhought the milk for you, thinking that you would make me a rich man of this land.
