Buraiyon ki Maa | Mother of Evils
department of Dawat-e-Islami] that Sayyidunā Bishr Ḥāfī عَـلَیۡهِ رَحۡـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـکَافـِی was a drunkard before eventual repentance. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was once going somewhere in a drunken state. On the way, he glanced a piece of paper on which ‘بِسۡمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحۡـمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ’ was inscribed. He picked it up out of respect. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه then bought ‘Iṭr (fragrance), applied it to the paper and placed it at an elevated place out of reverence.
At night, a saint رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه of Islam dreamt someone saying, ‘Go and inform Bishr: You made My name fragrant, honoured it and placed it at a high place, We will also purify you.’ As the saint woke up, he thought to himself, ‘Bishr is an alcoholic; there is perhaps some misunderstanding on my part about the dream.’ Then, after making Wuḍū and offering Nafl Ṣalāĥ, he went to sleep again but had the same dream for the second time and then again for the third time and also heard ‘Our message is indeed for Bishr! Go and convey our message to him.’

Reaching the gathering he called out for ‘Bishr,’ but he was told by people
that Bishr was in a drunken stupor. The saint
said, ‘Go and somehow tell him that a man with a message for him is
standing outside.’ Someone went and told him of this. Sayyidunā Bishr Ḥāfī عَـلَیۡهِ
رَحۡـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـکَافـِی said, ‘Ask him as to whose
message he has brought.’ When asked, the saint replied, ‘I have brought the
message of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.’ When informed of this, Sayyidunā Bishr عَـلَیۡهِ رَحۡـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـکَافـِی was overwhelmed and immediately came out barefooted. Hearing the divine message, he
sincerely repented from his sins and attained such a high spiritual rank that
he used to remain barefooted due to awe-
