In 1927, Yaqub Ali Irfani Sahib, a prominent and devout companion of the Promised Messiah (as), performed the pilgrimage of Hajj.
During his stay in Makkah, he also had the opportunity to meet with Sultan Ibn Saud, who was the king of the Hijaz and the custodian of the two holy sites.
The conversation that took place between them has been preserved in his memoirs titled Kitab-ul-Hajj.

𝗜𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗦𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗯 (𝗿𝗮): Your Majesty! Do you know the reason why you have been bestowed the custodianship of the two holy sites, Makkah & Madinah?
𝗜𝗯𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗱:
ذَٰلِكَ فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤۡتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُۚ
[That is Allah’s grace; He bestows it on whom He pleases.]

[That is Allah’s grace; He bestows it on whom He pleases.]
𝗜𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗦𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗯 (𝗿𝗮): No doubt it is owing to His grace, but at times, there are certain reasons as to why Allah the Almighty grants His grace.
𝗦𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗯𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗱: I am not aware of the reasons, but what is your thought on the matter?
𝗦𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗯𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗱: I am not aware of the reasons, but what is your thought on the matter?
𝗜𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗦𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗯 (𝗿𝗮): Your elders came to perform the Hajj during the rule of the Sharif family. However, owing to their difference in beliefs, they were stopped from Hajj. Allah was displeased by this & as a result He took this honour away from them...
and it was granted to the House of Saud.
𝗦𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗯𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗱: Marhaban!
𝗜𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗦𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗯 (𝗿𝗮): The reason why I have reminded you of this incident is because the holy city of Makkah is a centre for all Muslims.

...Muslims of different schools of thought will come here; some of them will even hold beliefs which you may not agree with. Thus, if you oppose them simply owing to a difference of belief then remember that God Almighty will take away this custodianship from you...
...and bestow it upon someone who will not oppose others owing to their beliefs.
(Taufeeq Sharif, the Wazir-e-Ma'arif was interpreting on my behalf and I also tried to converse in whatever little Arabic I knew. Upon hearing this, Ibn Saud stood up reciting Istighfar and said:)

𝗦𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗯𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗱: God-willing I will never do such a thing. In fact, you are here and were not stopped even though I received a complaint against you, but I took no notice of it.
