started to crawl very fast towards a certain direction. After passing some distance, they saw a strange and terrifying scene. There was an intoxicated young person lying unconscious and a python was slithering towards him, as soon as it approached to swallow him, the gigantic scorpion attacked the python, as a result of which it could not bear the poison of the scorpion and died. When the python died, the scorpion returned towards the bank of the pond where the frog was waiting. It again rode the frog’s back and returned to the other side of the pond.
Fānūs ban kar jis kī ḥifāẓat ĥawā karay
Woĥ sham’a kyā bujĥay jisay rawshan Khudā karay
When air becomes a chandelier to protect the light of the candle
Then no one can blow out the candle which is protected by Allah
Then they approached that intoxicated young man who was still unconscious. Żunnūn Miṣrī عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی shook him and he opened his eyes. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said, ‘O young man! Look, how your Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ has saved your life. This dead python came to kill you but Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ protected your life in such a way that a scorpion came from the other bank of the pond and killed this python; as a result you were saved.’ He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه revealed the entire incident and read the following couplets:
|
مِنۡ كُلِّ سُوۡءٍ يَدۡوۡرُ فِيۡ الظُّلَمِ |
|
يَا غَافِلًا وَ الۡجَلِيۡلُ يَحۡرُسُه |
|
يَاۡتِيۡكَ مِنۡه فَوَائِدُ
النِّعَمِ |
|
كَيۡفَ تَنَامُ الۡعُيُوۡنُ عَنۡ
مَلِكٍ |
Translation: Wake up O heedless one! Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ protects his humble servants from every evil that moves around in darkness. Why then have your eyes slept and become heedless of Him Whose blessings benefit you.
