One day, Abu Nawas went to the market. Seeing the market crowd, moved
heart of Abu Nawas to do something. For a long time he thought, finally find the idea ...
Without realizing many people, suddenly Abu Nawas boarded the cart
someone standing with his hands on his hips. The owner of the cart
even grumbling while ordering Abu Nawas down from his cart. But,
Abu Nawas ignored him and even shouted so loudly
the people in the market turned to him.
"O mankind, know! I, Abu Nawas, are the ones who
very fond of slander, people who hate the Yang Haq
(truth), I am a man who always flees from the grace of God, and me
is a man richer than God ", he cried.
No doubt, the shouts of Abu Nawas make a frenzy of people who are in the market
which is indeed a devout Muslim population. Instantly the cart owner
dropping it, so that Abu Nawas rolled and immediately beaten by the masses.
Luckily for Abu Nawas, there are Royal soldiers who happen to pass by and
immediately stop the mass amok. After being investigated by the soldier,
actually adds havoc to Abu Nawas.
Abu Nawas was taken to the Palace of King Aaron Al-Rosyid. Very clear to
Abu Nawas will get punishment from the king, at least sentenced beheaded.
It is the mind of the people who participated in the Palace.
After being confronted with the King, Abu Nawas bowed to the face of the round
battered. The king asked after receiving reports from the soldiers
catch it.
King: "Yes, what is reported is Abu Nawas?"
Abu Nawas: "Right King of the King"
King: "Well, now explain to me, what is the meaning of your statement
that? First you say very fond of slander? "
Abu Nawas: "You are right, child and wife are slander
people who do not like both? Even King King also likes it "
King: "Yeah well, then the second you say hate Yang Haq
(truth)?"
Abu Nawas: Yes, Sire, dead and hell is Haq. I hate
both, including the King "
King: (while pensively agreed) "Then, you say always run away from
God's grace? In fact, we humans always expect His grace,
are you running !? "
Abu Nawas: "I ran away from God's grace for fear of being soaked
Majesty, because the rain is also the grace of God "
King: "hahaha ... you are right .. Then, why do you say you are richer
from God? In fact, Allah is Rich and even giving
wealth to man! "
Abu Nawas: "I am richer than Allah because I have children and
wife, both are wealth. While God does not have, your Majesty "
King: "Yeah, yeah right, then what's your purpose to shout it on
crowds of people? "
Abu Nawas: "To be captured and confronted with you"
King: "After that what?"
Abu Nawas: "To receive a gift from the king"
King: "Hahaha you're smart too, well, here I give you a bag
dinar for your family needs "
Abu Nawas: "Thank you Sincerely, I'll go home"
. Apparently Abu Nawas more keahunya knowledge,
perhaps his idea was inspired from the story of Sahabat Huzaifah al-Yamani with
Khalifah Umar bin al-Khoththob rodhiyallahu 'anhuma
Here is the story of Sahabat Huzaifah al-Yamani with the friend of Umar bin
al-Khoththob in the book of Man'u tadwini al-hadith, pages 120-121
I totally agree with your thoughts
