Sudden appearance of two lions

It has been narrated that a person who was a non-Arab was sent by the king of Rome to blessed Madinah asking for the address of Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ from the people.  The people told him to go a little far from the city in the orchards of dates where he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ takes a rest in the afternoon. That non-Arab finally reached the place and found Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ sleeping soundly on the ground resting his head on his leather whip. With the intention of assassinating Sayyiduna ‘Umar رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, the non-Arab drew his sword from its sheath and moved forward, but as he got closer he suddenly saw two lions with open mouths ready to attack him. Seeing this terrifying scene, he screamed out of fear. Due to this, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ woke up and saw this non-Arab trembling with a sword in his hand. Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ asked him the reason for his scream and fear. He related the whole incident. He then recited the Kalimah aloud and embraced Islam. Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen became extremely affectionate towards him and forgave his ill-intentions. (Izala-tul-Khifa, vol. 4, pp. 109)

خدا کے فضل سے میں ہوں گدا فاروقِ اعظم کا

خدا ان کا محمد مصطفے فاروقِ اعظم کا

Dear Islamic brothers! From this parable it has been learnt that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ protects His special bondmen Himself and sometimes He helps them from unseen sources, in such ways that none can even imagine. Furthermore, from this parable, the beautiful attributes of humbleness and humility have been learnt. He was Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen and the king of his time. If he had wanted, he could have got a grand palace constructed for himself, decorated with all luxuries and facilities, including an extremely comfortable bed, however, being humble as he was, he would rest on the bare ground. Just ponder over this! On one hand, the second caliph of the Muslims, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, who became an embodiment of humbleness by rejecting all comforts, whilst on the other hand, we are being intoxicated with wealth, worldly respect and post and start becoming arrogant.
