Haji who was not disappointed

Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, the founder of Dawat-e-Islami, ‘Allamah Maulana Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qaadiri Razavi Ziyaee    دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه has mentioned a faith-refreshing parable on page 96 of the book ‘Aashiqan-e-Rasool ki 130 Hikayaat ma’ Makkay Madinay ki Ziyaratayn’:

Sayyiduna Maalik Bin Dinar رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said that an ‘Aabid (one who abundantly worships Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ) said that he had the privilege of consecutively performing Hajj for 14 years and every year he saw a holy man holding the door of the Holy Ka’bah. When he would say:

لَبَّیْکَ ^ط   اَللّٰھُمَّ   لَبَّیْکَ ^ط    لَبَّیْکَ  لَا   شَرِیْکَ   لَکَ   لَبَّیْکَ  ^ط   اِنَّ   الْحَمْدَ   وَ النِّعْمَۃَ   لَکَ   وَ لْمُلْکَ  ^ط    لَا  شَرِ یْکَ   لَکَ  ^ط

a voice could be heard from an unknown source, ‘لَا لَبَّیْکَ’, I asked him on the 14^th year if he was deaf. He replied that he was hearing everything. I asked him why he was taking so much trouble. He told me, ‘O Shaykh! I swear an oath that despite these 14 years, if I were of 14 thousand years old and despite the entire year if this reply is heard every day one thousand times, even then I will not raise my head from this door.’

He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: While we were conversing, all of a sudden, a piece of paper fell on the chest of that holy man. He gave me that piece of paper. I read it. It was written, ‘O Maalik Bin Dinar! You want to separate My bondman from Me, as I have not accepted his Hajj of 14 years; it is not like this, but I have accepted the Hajj of all the Hajis over this period of time by virtue of his call so that no one could go empty handed from Me.’
