Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia's Khanqah attracted greater number of people as compared to the count of the then Sultans. The Sultans always wondered what lured the common man to the Khanqah. Alauddin Khilji had sent spies to his Khanqah with a view to knowing and if necessary checking such influx of people. The people still kept coming in large numbers.
