The Story of 2 Cruel Person
One of the rulers of Bukhara was a great tyrant. One day he was going on his ride when he happened to see a dog suffering from itch and cold and thus in the grip of great trouble. As soon as that cruel king saw him, tears welled up in his eyes, and asked his servant to bring that dog to his home, and to look after that until) he returns. After giving this instruction he took his way. When he returned, he ordered them to bring the dog and got it tied in a corner of his house. He threw a piece of bread, got the water placed before it, caused the oil to be rubbed on it, and got the body covered with a sheet. The fire was lit around that to protect it from severe cold. Since this incident, only two days had passed when that cruel ruler breathed his last.
A pious man (saint) who was well aware of his cruelties and atrocities, saw him in a dream? He asked him: “What has happened to you?’’ He said: ‘The Almighty God caused me to stand before Him and said to me: ‘You were a dog (1.e., ye did work like dogs and not like human beings).’ So, We gave ye a dog that-is, We favored ye with Our Forgiveness, because of your kind treatment with that dog, and as for my rights upon you, I decided to forgo them. Almighty God is very Gracious. He is the Master of all the gracious ones. He is the King. His kindness is boundless. If He is pleased even with an insignificant deed of a person, that person is successful. Man should always try to seek His Pleasure as no one knows when for a small liking of His, one may attain salvation.
