Jhoota Chor | The Lying Thief
1. The lying thief
Once, a man stole his cousin’s belongings. The owner caught the thief in the blessed Ḥaram (in Makkaĥ) and claimed for his belongings, but the thief responded, ‘You are lying’. The owner replied, ‘If it is so, then swear an oath.’ Listening to this, the thief swore (in front of the Holy Ka’baĥ) standing beside ‘Maqām-e-Ibrāĥīm’. Seeing this, the owner raised his hands for prayer standing between ‘Rukn-e-Yamānī’ and ‘Maqām-e-Ibrāĥīm’. After a short while, as soon as the owner started praying, the thief went insane and started screaming and shrieking, ‘What has happened to me? And what has happened to the belongings? And what has happened to the owner?’
When this news was heard by Sayyidunā ‘Abdul Muṭṭalib رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, the blessed grandfather of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ came, collected the belongings, handed them over to the owner and went away; whereas the thief kept running, shrieking, and crying, until he eventually fell off a mountain and ended up being eaten by wild animals.
