The Truthfulness Of Abdul Quader Zilani(R)/story

The truthfulness of Abdul Quader Zilani(R)

In his boyhood Hazrat Abdul Quadir Zilani (R) was going to Baghdad for education. On the eve of his departure from home, his mother said to him. "My son, never tell a lie and don't get frightened in danger." Baghdad was far away from his home. He began his journey in the company of a band of merchants. The way was infested with robbers and after five days a band of robbers fell upon them. The robbers looted all the belongings and money of the merchants. When they were leaving one of the robbers saw the boy. He thought that the small boy might have something with him. So he was brought before the gang leader. The gang leader said that perhaps the boy had nothing with him. But Abdul Quader spoke out." No,no,have forty gold coins sewed in my shirt." The leader became surprised and asked him why had told them the truth. Abdul Quader said. "My mother has advised me never to tell a lie even in danger." The robbers were highly surprised by the honesty of the boy. They felt ashamed of their deeds and give up robbery.
