Could you recount the story of how Alli Mohammed acquired the portrait of Sai Baba that he later gave to Hemadpant?

Chapter 41 beautifully narrates the story of how Alli Mohammed came to possess the Sai Baba portrait that would later play a significant role. According to his account within the chapter, one day while wandering the streets of Mumbai, he came across a merchant selling a variety of beautiful pictures of saints and holy men. As he looked through them, one particular portrait of Sai Baba deeply appealed to his heart, its attractiveness surpassing all the others. Since Sai was already his worshipped deity, he felt an immediate connection and eagerness to have the picture. He paid the price in cash, brought the portrait home, and hung it on his wall, where he would take daily darshan with great love and joy.
