The Pious "Drunkard" and "Fornicator"

Sultan Murad IV, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1623-1640, would regularly namelessly go into the middle of the general population and see their state. One night, he felt an uneasiness in himself and the desire to go out. He required his take of security and off they went. They went to a bustling region, and found a man lying on the ground. The Sultan goaded him however he was dead and the general population were approaching their own business. No one appeared to think about the dead man lying on the ground.

The Sultan called upon the general population. They didn't remember him and asked him what he needed. He stated, "For what reason is this man lying dead on the ground and for what reason does nobody appear to mind? Where is his family?"

They answered, "He is so thus, the boozer and fornicator!"

The Sultan stated, "Would he say he is not from the Ummah of Muhammad (saw)? Presently enable me to convey him to his home."

The general population conveyed the dead man with the Sultan to his home and once they achieved, they all left. The Sultan and his colleague remained. At the point when the man's significant other saw his dead body, she started sobbing. She said to his dead body, "May Allah show kindness toward you! O companion of Allah! I give testimony you are from the devout ones."

The Sultan was baffled. He stated, "How is he from the devout ones when the general population say such and such regarding him? To such an extent that nobody even minded he was dead!"

She answered, "I was anticipating that. My significant other would go to the bar each night and purchase as much wine as he could. He would then bring it home and pour everything down the deplete. He would then say, 'I spared the Muslims a little today.' He would then go to a whore, give her some cash and advise her to close her entryway till the morning. He would then return home for a second time and state, 'Today, I spared a young lady and the adolescent of the devotees from bad habit.'"

The general population would see him purchasing wine and they would see him setting off to the whores and they would therefore discuss him. One day I said to him, "When you bite the dust, there will be nobody to bathe you, there will be nobody to ask over you and there will be nobody to cover you!"

He snickered and answered, "Don't fear, the Sultan of the adherents, alongside the devout ones will implore over my body."

The Sultan started to cry. He stated, "By Allah! He has said reality, for I am Sultan Murad. Tomorrow we will bathe him, implore over him and cover him."

Furthermore, it so happened that the Sultan, the researchers, the devout individuals and the majority implored over him.

We judge individuals by what we see and what we get notification from others. Just if we somehow managed to perceive what was covered in their souls, a mystery among them and their Lord. On the off chance that Allah knows, for what reason does it make a difference who knows and who doesn't have an inkling?!

"O you who accept, go without a considerable lot of the doubts. A few doubts are sins. What's more, don't be interested (to discover issues of others), and don't slander each other. Does one of you like that he eats the substance of his dead sibling? You would despise it. Furthermore, fear Allah. Definitely Allah is Most-Relenting, Very-Merciful." (49:12)
