1. Hazrat Bandagi Miyan Vali Bin Yusuf (RZ) is the second-generation follower (taba'i) of Imam Syed Muhammad Mahdi al-Mau'ood (AS). First, he wrote twenty chapters of Insaf Nama. Then he wrote the marginal notes (hashia) on all its pages. The devotees ('ashiqan) of the parables (nuqul) of Imam Mahdi (AS) separately wrote down all the twenty chapters in a book entitled Matan Sharif, the sacred text of Insaf Nama. Then they copied all the parables of the marginal notes in a separate book and gave it the title HASHIA INSAF NAMA or HASHIA SHARIF.

2. In the HASHIA SHARIF, Hazrat Bandagi Miyan Vali (RZ) has collected many gnomic utterances of prophets and saints. Reading them, one comes to know the intent and purport of the religion (of Islam). It also shows the purity and pristine glory of the sacred lives of the purest among the devotees of Almighty Allah. This also helps one to find what Allah calls the 'straight path' of the desire, love and devotion of Allah. Allah has said that He had created man and jinn for nothing other than His slavery (ubudiat). The objective of this is (enshrined) in Imam Mahdi's saying which enjoins his followers to obey Allah and His Apostle, Prophet Muhammad (SLM). This is the main and great objective of the sayings of Allah and Imam Mahdi (AS). Prophet Muhammad (SLM) has said that the wicked (or the sinners) would have been killed if the virtuous had not been around. - HAZRAT SYED DILAWAR GORAY MIYAN OF BEGUM BAZAAR, HYDERABAD, WHO HAD TRANSLATED HASHIA SHARIF INTO URDU.
