Once it was
very cold. I asked Sayyiduna Abul Hasan Noori
رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه: ‘Shall I bring anything for you?’ He
ordered me to bring milk and bread. When I brought the things he asked for, I
saw some pieces of coal in front of him which he was gathering up with his
hand. Taking the bread in his coal-stained black hand, he started eating it
while the milk was spilling over his hand. Seeing this, I said to myself: ‘O
Almighty! Your Awliya [i.e. friends] are so dirty; none of them maintains
cleanliness.’
After a little while, I went out of home to do some chores. Suddenly, another woman grabbed me and accused me of stealing her bundle of clothes. I said that I was innocent but people took me to the police station. When Sayyiduna Shaykh Noori رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه came to know of this, he went to the police station to intercede for me. With utmost respect, the police officer responded: “How can I release her while she is accused of theft.”
While this conversation was going on, a girl entered the police station with the stolen bundle of clothes. I was released. Sayyiduna Abul Hasan Noori رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه brought me home and said: ‘Will you again say that the Awliya of Allah are so dirty?’ Listening to it, I was astonished and I repented immediately.
