One day, Malik bin Dinar (Rahimaullah) was passing by a
place when he noticed a young man wearing old clothes and crying by the
roadside. His name was Uthbah. Sweat was dripping down his body even though the
temperature was a very cold at that time. Malik bin Dinar became very surprised
at this scene and asked Uthbah, “Oh young man, why are you crying? And why are
you sweating during this cold temperature?”
Uthbah replied, “ Once, I committed a sin at this place.
Today, as I was passing by this place, I remembered that sin.”
Look how pious were that early Muslims. Today, we are
committing thousands of sings, yet, we are walking around with happiness and
joy as if we have nothing to worry about.
