Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
ASALATU WASALAMU ALAYKA YA RASULLALLAH Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam
Nothing remains concealed from a saintly guide
Hazrate Ibrahim Khawwas Rahmatullahi 'alayh says, “I was at the mountain “maqam”. There I saw pomegranates, so I had temptation to eat the same. I picked up a pomegranate to eat it. When I tasted the pomegranate it was sour. So I left it there and proceeded further. After that I saw an individual on whose body Honey Bees were gathering. I said "Assalamu 'Alaykum", he answered "Wa'alaykum 'Assalam ‘O’ Ibrahim!" I asked him “How were you able to recognise me”? He answered:-
“The one who is able to recognise Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala nothing remains hidden from him”. I said, “I have seen some peculiar relationship between you and Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. Didn’t you pray that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala gets you rid of the Honey Bees?” He said:-
“Me too, I have seen peculiar status of dignity of yours in the court of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala; Did you not pray to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala that he gets you rid of the lust (desire) to eat “pomegranate” because a human being comes across the grief of pomegranate in the world and the hereafter, where as the stinging of Honey Bees is only in this world. The Bees bite only the baser-self, but the lecheries (worldly desires) deprive the hearts of spirituality.” Hazrat Ibrahim Khawwas says that after that (conversation) I left him and went away.
