24. Mohammad ibn Sammak

He was great worshiper and mystic saint as well a great preacher. He was popular in the public as well as in the private people. Maruf Karqi was his great admirer of his good preaching. The caliph Haroun was also his great admirer. He told him “ Oh : Haroun, honor of mysticism is great honor. He used to say that the meaning of humility is “ The man should think himself low and he also told the example of persons who have passed away from the world are like medicine from which the persons were used to get cure but the example of present persons are like pain who are making healthy persons un-healthy.” He told  “ In the past time in which the preachers think preaching a difficult task same like the persons of present time find difficulty to act upon the knowledge. In the present time there is shortage of learned people like the shortage of preachers in the past.”

Ahmed Huwari told that once I took his urine to the doctor when he was ill and the doctor was a fire worshiper. When I was returning back from him and met a pious person on the way and that person asked me from where I was coming back? When I explained him all the details then that person told me; “ It is very strange that Allah’s beloved person is taking help from his enemy. So tell him to put the hand on place of pain and recite this verse. “ Awouze Billah Min Shaitan Nirjaim Wa Bilhaqe Nazalna Wa Bilhaque Nazal. ”

So when I came back to him and explained him all the details which happened on the way. He recited the verse and put the hand on the place of pain and he was recovered from the illness at once and told him he was Khizer ( as).

At his last time he told “ Oh :Allah at the time of doing sin I used to love your beloved friends so for this reason help me and forgive me.”

When the persons asked him to marry then he replied it was difficult for him to face two Satans ( devils). Upon his death the persons asked him in the dream how Allah blessed him and he replied them that “ Allah blessed him but he could not got the position of persons who married in that world and suffered difficulties to maintain them.”
