Why bitter fruits were sweet to Ayyaz
There was a famous ruler by the name Sultan
Mahmud and he had a slave called Ayyaz. Sultan Mahmud loved Ayyaz very
much because of his great wisdom. From time to time, Sultan would test
Ayyaz with various things to see how much love Ayyaz had for him. One
day, Sultan Mahmud gathered the most bitter fruits from his garden and
called Ayyaz. Sultan told Ayyaz to eat them. Ayyaz took the fruits in
his hands and kissed them and then started eating them without any
hesitation. Sultan observed that Ayyaz was eating the fruits with great
pleasure and the bitter taste was not affecting him in any way. Now
Sultan started thinking that he might've picked the wrong fruits, so, he
took one of the fruits from Ayyaz to find out. As soon as Sultan took a
bite, he was overwhelmed by the bitterness of the fruit and started
screaming for water. When Sultan settled down, he asked Ayyaz why he was
unaffected by the fruits. Ayyaz said "You only see the bitterness of
the fruits but you don't see the one who gave them to me? They were
given to me by the king himself!"
