Be Concious of The Glorious Allah
Fear Allah In Every Step
Once he ate an apple out of hunger which had floated down the stream. Immediately, his conscience pricked him. He doubted whether the apple was lawful for him. He got up and walked up the river along the bank. After a few days' journey without any food, he saw an apple tree laden with apples on the bank of the river amongst a large garden and a spacious building.
He saw some apples fall into the river. Hence he had no doubt that the apple he had eaten had fallen from the tree. He also learnt that Hazrat Abdullah Sawmai was the owner of the garden on inquiry. He approached him and begged his pardon for eating the apple. The Hazrat instanlty perceived that the visitor was a prous man and replied, " I shall pardon you if you would consent to live with me for twelve years." Hazrat Abu Saleh readily accepted the condition and when he repeated his request after the twelve years, Hazrat Abdullah Sawmai said," I shall pardon you if you agree to marry my daughter, who is blind and deaf and whose hands are paralytic and legs are lame and also to live with me for another two years, so that I may have the pleasure of seeing a grandson." As Hazrat Abu Saleh agreed to the proposal, the marriage ceremony was performed.
At night when Hazrat Abu Saleh entered the chamber of the bride, he saw a beautiful and healthy lady. He turned his eyes from her thinking that he had entered a wrong chamber.
In the morning Hazrat Abdullah understood by Kashf(clairvoyance) what had taken place. Addressing his son-in-law, he said, " I had stated that my daughter was blind because her eyes never fell upon any 'ghair mahrem' -that is , any man whom she could lawfully marry; she was deaf because she never heard untruthful statements; her hands were paralytic because she never touched any 'ghair mahrem' - that is, any man whom she could lawfully marry; she was lame because she never stepped towards unjust acts."
At this the mind of Hazrat Abu Saleh was enlightened with a new light. He began to live happily with his wife. Her name was Ummul-Khair Faitma. She was a pious lady who walked far in the path of Sufism. They were the parents of the ever great friend of Allah (swt) who was a great preacher, a great educationist, a great doctor of law, a great moralist and a great philanthropist. He was Abu Muhammad Mohiyuddin Abdul Qadir Jelani Ghaus ul Azam Radiallahu Anhu
