MALEK BIN DINAAR and his LICENTIOUS NEIGHBOUR

October 15, 2008

 

There was a certain youth living in Malek’s RA neighbourhood who was extremely depraved and dissolute in his ways. Malek Bin Dinaar RA was constantly pained on account of his bad behaviour, but he endured patiently waiting for someone else to speak. To be brief, in due course others came forward to complain about the young man. 

 

Malek bin Dinaar RA then arose and went to him to bid him to mend his ways. The youth reacted in a very headstrong and overbearing manner.

 

“I am the Sultan’s favourite,” he told Malek bin Dinaar RA. “No one has the power to check me or restrain me from doing as I please.” 

“I will talk to the Sultan,” Malek threatened. 

“The Sultan will never swerve from his approval of me,” the youth retorted. “Whatever I do, he will approve.” 

 

“Well, if the Sultan cannot do anything,” Malek proceeded, “I will tell the All-merciful.” And he pointed towards the heaven. 

 

“Ha,” the youth replied. “He is too generous to take me to task.” 

 

This floored Malek bin Dinaar RA, and he left him. Some days went by, and the youth’s depravity surpassed all bounds. People came again to complain. Malek RA rose up to rebuke him; but on the way he heard a voice. 

 

“Keep your hands off My friend!” 

 

Amazed, Malek RA went to the youth. 

 

“What has happened,” the youth demanded on seeing him, “that you have come a second time?” 

 

“I have not come this time to chide you,” Malek answered. “I have come simply to inform you that I heard such a voice.” 

 

“Ah,” the youth exclaimed. “Since things are like that, I will dedicate my palace wholly to His (Allah's) service. I care nothing for all my possessions.” 

 

So saying, he cast everything aside and set out to wander the world. 

 

Malek bin Dinaar RA relates that after a certain time he saw the youth in Makkah Mukarramah, utterly destitute and at his last breath. 

 

“He is my friend,” he gasped. “I went to see my friend.” And with that he passed away.
