Description

The people carried the dead man with the Sultan to his house and once they reached, they all left. The Sultan and his assistant remained. When the man's wife saw his dead body, she began weeping. She said to his dead body, May Allah Ta'ala. The Creator of Universe have mercy on you! O friend of Allah! I bear witness that you are from the pious ones. The Sultan was bewildered. He said, How is he from the pious ones when the people say such and such about him? So much so that no one even cared he was dead! She replied, I was expecting that. My husband would go to the tavern every night and buy as much wine as he could.
