An incident about a Sufi Manish Headmaster became very famous, which I heard from many people after his death. When he was posted as a teacher in a school, he took a test for his class. At the end of the test, he checked everyone’s copies and asked each child to stand in a row with his own copy in his hand. He announced that the more mistakes he makes, the more sticks will be hit on his hands.
Although he, being a soft-hearted man, very gently punished the children with the cane so that it was only admonition rather than torture, but the fear of punishment was in place.
All the children stood up. The headmaster used to ask all the children the number of their mistakes and used to give them sticks on their hands accordingly. One child was very nervous. When they approached him and inquired from him about the mistakes, he dropped the copy from his hand out of fear and muttered: “Yes, forgive me, everything is wrong.”
The master could not bear this sentence and a heart-rending cry came out of his throat. Throwing a stick from his hand, Zaruqatar started crying and repeating this sentence again and again: “My God! forgive me. Everything is wrong with me.”
His hiccups stopped while crying. Tell this child only one thing, “What have you said, what have you said, my child!” “My God! forgive me. Everything is wrong with me.” “Oh, I wish that we too would get a particle of divine knowledge and that it would come out of our hearts and tongues by doing the best and only for the sake of Allah…. My Allah! Forgive me. Everything is wrong with me”
