Who is Alli Mohammed and what was his personal experience with Sai Baba's portrait as narrated in Chapter 41?

In Chapter 41 of the Sai Satcharitra, Alli Mohammed is identified as the person who tells the story of how he acquired Sai Baba's portrait. He narrates that one day in Mumbai, he saw a merchant selling pictures of various saints. Among them, a portrait of Sai Baba, whom he already worshipped in his heart, strongly appealed to him. He immediately paid for it, brought it home, and hung it on his wall, deriving great joy from taking its darshan daily. The chapter explains that this was the very photo he later brought to Hemadpant on Holi, fulfilling a dream-promise from Baba. Alli Mohammed's account is presented as a clear and humorous 'Leela' or divine play, showcasing Sai's profound and innate power to orchestrate events.
