Sheikh Abu 'Abdullah Jala's story about a porter




Shaikh Abu Abdullah  Jilaa says: "One day my mother asked  my  father to fetch some fish  from  the  market. My father  left for the market and I also accompanied him. The fish was bought and we needed a  porter  to carry it for us. We engaged a boy who was standing there and who had offered to do the job  for us. He put the  load on his head and followed us. While we were on our way, we happened  to hear  the  Azaan.  The  boy  abruptly spoke,  'Allah's  summoner has summoned me; I have to take my wudhu  too. I shall  now carry  the  fish after salaat.  If  you like you may wait, otherwise here  it is." Saying  this  he  put the  load down and  left for the masjid. My  father thought when  the poor boy could place  his trust  in Allah  so much, we must as well do so in a greater degree. He, therefore,  left the fish there and  took me to  the masjid. When we three returned after saying  salaat, we found  the  fish  lying  in  the  sameplace as we had left it. The boy then carried it to our house.


My  father related  the  strange story to my mother who  insisted that the boy  should be  invited to eat some fish with us,  When  the  invitation  was  extended to  him, he  said, 'Excuse me  I am fasting.' My  father then  requested  him  to have  iftaar at our place. To this he said, 'It  is not  possible for me to return once I am gone. Just possibly, I may stay in a masjid close to your place; if  so, then I shall join  you  in your dinner.'  Saying  this  he went  to  the masjid  and  returned after Maghrib. When the dinner was over, I showed him  the  room where he could  rest  in privacy. Now,  there lived  a  crippled woman  in  our  neighbourhood. We  were surprised  to  see her walking quite hale and hearty. When we  enquired  from  her how she  got  cured,  she said,  'I prayed to Allah to heal me for the sake of  the blessings that your guest  carries. No  sooner I prayed  than  I was healed.'

When we went to find  the boy  in the room where we had left him, the door was shut and the boy was nowhere to be seen."
