Disabled boy walks!

A gang of robbers once went on a looting spree. At night, they stayed at an inn in the appearance of Mujahidin (warriors in the path of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ). The owner of the inn was a pious person, he not only allowed them to stay at the inn at night but also served them well with the intention of attaining the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

In the morning, those robbers went somewhere and returned to the same inn, after their looting. Last night the robbers had seen the inn-owner’s son who was unable to walk, but now they saw him roaming around freely like a normal person. Amazed and surprised, they asked the inn owner, ‘Is he not the same disabled boy we saw yesterday?’ He replied respectfully, ‘Yes!’ They asked, ‘How did he get cured?’ The inn owner replied, ‘All this is the blessings of you people who are travellers in the path of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. What happened was, I fed your yesterday’s leftover food to my son and massaged his body with your leftover water, with the intention of curing him. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has cured my disabled son through the blessings of the leftover food and water of you pious people.’

Overwhelmed by hearing this, the robbers were moved to tears and said, ‘All this is the fruit of your positive opinion of us; otherwise we are great sinners. Look, we are not travellers of the Divine path; we are robbers! The manifestation of Divine bounty has entirely changed our lives. We make you witness and repent of all our [past] sins.’ They all then adopted righteousness and remained steadfast on it till the end of their lives.

(Kitab-ul-Qalyoobi, pp. 20)

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on them and forgive us without accountability for their sake!
