Syibly, a pious man was born in Baghdad. He died 334
Hijri and was buried at Baghdad. He was one
day asked after his death in spiritual conversation (saint dream) about what Allah has done for him.
He answered to whom asked : “ My brother! Allah has asked me.. O
Syibly Did you know by what I have
forgiven you?
I replied : by my good actions? Oh my Lord
He said : you
are wrong
I replied again : by the sincerity of my service to
You? my Lord!
He said : you are wrong
I replied again : by my pilgrimage to Mecca and my
fasting and my prayer? my Lord!
He said : you are wrong
I replied again : by my migration to the teachers for
seeking knowledge or to the pious men? my Lord!
He said : You are wrong
I replied again : So , by what You have forgiven me?
Oh Allah
He answered : Did you remember when you walked in a
path inside Baghdad , you found a baby cat which had been suffering from the
cold and had moved to the corner of building because of extreme cold weather.
You took him mercifully and put inside your Jubah to protect him from the cold?
I replied : Yes I did remember.
He said : By your mercifulness to him, I have forgiven
you.
Wisdom and suggestion :
Allah will mercy us if we mercy whom on the earth.
We do not know which good actions that pleasure Allah,
so we must not underestimate small good actions in our eye because it maybe big
in the eye of Allah.
Somewhere in Kampung Inggris, there must be a food
stall which will fall into bankcrupcy because had little customer so that to
buy food at that food stall is a kind of mercy. It would be compensated by
Allah. Please search that kind of food stall. Kyai Yazid always do that,follow
him.
