Another central doctrine of this movement is that Prophet Muhammad views and witnesses (Hazir o Nazir) actions of people. The doctrine appears in the works predating this movement, such as Sayyid Uthman Bukhari's (d. ca. 1687) "Jawahir al-Quliya" ("Jewels of the Friends of God"), describing how Sufis may experience the presence of Muhammad. Proponents of this doctrine assert that the term "Shahid" (witness) in the Quran (, ) refers to this ability of Muhammad, and cite hadiths to support it.
