The Truthfulness of Abdul Qadir Jilani
The truthfulness of a boy changes the robbers: In his boyhood, Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani (R.) was going to Baghdad for education. On the eve of his departure from home, his mother said to him, “My son, neer tell a lie and don’t frightened in danger.”
Baghdad was far away from his home. He began his journey in the company of band of merchants. The way was infested with robbers and after five days a gang of robbers fell upon the travellers. One of the robbers caught hold of the boy.
The gang leader saw it and said, “Let the boy go. He has nothing with him.” At this, the boy said, “No, you are wrong, I have forty gold coins sewed in my sleeves.” The leader asked him why he told them about his money.
The boy said in reply that at the time of his departure his mother forbade him to tell a lie. He could not disobey his mother. Hearing this a change came into the gang leader. They gave up robbery. They began to lead a good and honest life.
