The Daughter of Hazrat Shah Ibn Shuja’ Kirmaani (Rahmatullahi Alaih)

• Hazrat Shah Ibn Shuja’ Kirmaani (Rahmatullahi alaih) was a king who renounced the world.
• He had a daughter.
• A king sent a proposal for the daughter.
• Hazrat Shah Kirmaani rejected the proposal.
• He married his daughter to a poor and pious boy who he had seen performing his Namaaz beautifully.
• When the daughter came to her husband’s home she saw a dried roti in a container.
• She asked: “What is this?”
• The boy replied that it was the leftover of his supper and that he kept it to break his fast.
• Hearing this she moved backwards.
• The boy said: “I knew that the daughter of the king is not going to be contented with my poverty.”
• She replied: “The daughter of the king is not dissatisfied with your poverty. She is unhappy because you have no trust in Allah. And I am surprised at my father who said that you are a good young boy.”
• “Whoever does not have trust in Allah, how can he be good!?”
• The boy started putting forward excuses.
• She replied: “You know better your excuses. Either I remain, or this roti.”
• The boy immediately gave the roti in charity.
• Then she sat down in her new home.

Lessons

3. And decrease your lust for money and possessions.
