Sheikh Chandan, a Saint was originally a soap dealer

Sheikh Chandan, a Saint of the sixteenth century belonged to Lahore and was originally a soap dealer, impelled by the mystic urge he gave up his business and migrated to Burdwan (in west Bengal) where he settled near the tomb of Sheikh Bahram Saqqa. He led a pious life and never asked for charity. It is said that when he was offered any gift by his admirers, he immediately distributed it among poor.
