Strange People

That lady at the college told me a strange story about Rabia Basri.  It was a small book cost Rs.100.  Rabia Basri was born in a very poor family.  One day when they had no food at all and no oil to lit the lamp, her parents made dua to Allah.  The same night, father saw Prophet (pbuh) in his dream.  The Prophet asked him to go to the king and tell him that the Prophet is waiting for the gift of durood he reads everyday.  The father woke up in the morning and decided to go to the king.  He said what Prophet (pbuh) told him in his dream.  The king confessed that he reads a tasbeeh of durood and forgot last night.  He felt sad and embarrassed, he asked his treasury to distribute charity among the poors.  He also presented ashafiyan (gold coins) to the fahter.  Rabia Basri grew up to be a scholar and a pious lady, she spent her life in misery for the love of God.  She hanged the white cloth of kafn on her wall so she would remember the death.  Hasan Basri, a man from same town, fell in love with her and sent his proposal many times.  She refused for the love of Allah.  One day she found him on the beach. Hasan took out his prayer rug from his arms and threw it on the water and offered her to pray with him on water.  She immediately took out her prayer rug from her arms and threw it in the air and said, "Hasan what you did can be done by a fish and what I did, even a fly can do this trick, it all happens by the will of God".  Someone at her death bed asked her about her last wish, she said that she wants to eat a fresh date.  While the man was confused a bird flies over and drops a fresh piece of date.  Rabia didn't eat that because she doubted if it was from a halal source or haram.
Then she quoted a scholar, he said that when God created everything, nothing happened but when God created mothers, everything in the universe came to a pause for a little while.  So when children go out for anything or on any mission, they should put their hands under their mother's right foot to get the blessings.
