had to be amputated. He then beseeched in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! This is the state of the person who desired to consume a Ḥalāl thing and stretched out his hand towards it. What will be the condition of the person who desires a Ḥarām thing and stretches out his hand towards it?’ (Risāla-tul-Qushayriyyaĥ, pp. 142)
May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on him and forgive us without accountability for his sake!
Dear Islamic brothers! The Madanī mindset of the saints is extraordinary. Even after going through pain and trials, they still manage to pick the positives and adopt humility in the court of their Creator. It is our positive opinion that the pricking of fish bone was a means of further increasing (the spiritual) rank of Sayyidunā Abul Khayr ‘Asqalānī قُـدِّسَ سِـرُّہُ الـرَّبَّـانِی. Sometimes, the bone pricks people in the throat while eating fish. If this happens, one should have patience because when a Muslim experiences difficulty, either his sins are removed or his spiritual status is enhanced.
Sayyidunā Abū Sa’īd Khudrī and Sayyidunā Abū Ĥurayraĥ رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُمَا have narrated that the Beloved and Blessed Rasūl صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘No sadness, difficulty, anxiety, pain, injury, sorrow or even the pricking of a thorn reaches a Muslim, but Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ erases the sin of that Muslim (due to these difficulties).’ (Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhārī, vol. 7, pp. 3, Ḥadīš 5641-5642)
The Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَعَـالٰى عَـلَيْـهِ وَاٰلـِهٖ وَسَـلَّم has stated, ‘If a high status is predestined for a person in the knowledge of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, but the person is unable to acquire that status by his deeds, so Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ makes that person suffer financial, physical or family difficulty.
