Ainul Faqar Ainul Faqr

The Dervish told that he had found two chapattis of barley last night out of which he ate one and kept the other. The daughter of the king started weeping [upon this]. The Faqeer said that "[Probably] you are weeping for this that you are a princess and have come in the house of a poor Faqeer". King's daughter said that "I am not weeping for this that I have come in the house of a Faqeer but I am wailing for this that you are not Dervish. You have not trusted on Allah observing Tawakul equal to a dog and spared one chapatti for the next day. I am Haraam (Illicit) for you". She returned to her father and said "he was not Dervish but was of the People of greed". Moreover, he, who amasses possessions in greed and without Tawakul, [and] does not spend on the Cause of Allah, theirs heart attends not unto Allah they are the People of Iblees.

That is why, Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam said that: Niggardly (and parsimonious person) is the enemy of Allah even if he is an ascetic (worshipper).

Enemy of Allah is accursed. On the Day of Judgment, all the People-of-Dunya will be deniers and will say that "O God! Had a Faqeer or Dervish come to us, we had spent all possessions in Your cause". [O Seeker!] Be informed that: when Allah Almighty wills to give something to a Dervish , He causes Ilqa (inspiration) in his heart that he should go to such a such person that he is His treasurer in the world. If that person gives something to that Faqeer Dervish on asking, it is as if he gives to Allah and if he does not then Allah gives. Moreover, it is Allah, who gets the Faqeers given. If someone says this that such a such person has given, he becomes Kaafir. May Allah keep us in His refuge against this! If someone says this that he gave something to such a such person, even then he becomes Kaafir. We also seek refuge in Allah against this. [In Reality] it is Allah Almighty, who grants and it is also He, who gets someone granted.

A HIKAYAT

Hazrat Bayazid [Bastami] Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe asked the reality from a thief, who used to thieve the coffins (White Shrouds) from the (caskets of the newly) buried bodies of Muslims in graves.
