Why bitter fruits were sweet to Ayyaz?

 


There was a famous ruler named Sultan Mahmud and he had a slave Ayyaz. Sultan Mahmud loved Ayyaz very much because of his  great wisdom. From time to time, Sultan would test to Ayyaz with various things to see how much love Ayyaz had for him.

One day, Sultan Mahmud gathered the most bitter fruits from his garden and called Ayyaz. Sultan told Ayyaz to eat them. Ayyaz took the fruits in his hands and kissed them and then started eating them without any hesitation. Sultan  observed that Ayyaz was eating the fruits with great pleasure as if the fruits were not  bitter. Now Sultan started to think that he might have picked the wrong fruits, so he took one of the fruits from Ayyaz to find out. As soon as Sultan took a bite , he was overwhelmed by the bitterness of the fruits and started screaming for water.

When Sultan settled down, he asked Ayyaz: "Why are you unaffected by the fruits?"

Ayyaz said: "You only see the bitterness of the fruits but you do not see the one who gave them to me. They were given to me by the King himself !"


Moral: 

My dear brothers and sisters, today we find some commandments of Allah to be bitter and hard to follow. However, we should rather follow them with great love because they were given to us by the King of all Kings, Allah.
