* Once they brought him a piece of honey cake [lekach] that the Rebbe sent him. He rejoiced over this as if finding great treasure. He immediately called me and all the household members, and distributed with tremendous joy a small piece to each person, saying that it is a great merit for us and wonderful segulah to eat from the cake that the Rebbe sent.

* One of the rabbis who visited his home was looking at an album of pictures of the Rebbe, and asked the tzaddik what he thought about the chassidim saying the Rebbe is Melech HaMoshiach. The Baba Sali answered him with a smile and an expression of amazement and admiration: "Istahel kilshi!" (This is an Arabic expression meaning: everything suits him, everything is coming to him).
