The child picked up a pebble and threw it at the bus while it came near. The pebble didn’t harm the bus or any passenger but apparently it became the cause of ruining the lap of the widow. The transporter got angry and hit the innocent child; he intentionally crushed the boy by moving the bus back and forth.
I heard this account from my father and many other people also verified it. The days when Field Marshal Ayyub Khan was the President of Pakistan and Raza Shah Pehalvi was in power as the King of Iran, there used to be a landlord in Hasil Pur named as S.M. He was a transporter and possessed a wide urban property. He also drove his personal bus. One day a widow was standing on the road side along with her six years old orphan son. The child picked up a pebble and threw it at the bus while it came near. The pebble didn’t harm the bus or any passenger but apparently it became the cause of ruining the lap of the widow. The transporter got angry and hit the innocent child; he intentionally crushed the boy by moving the bus back and forth. The widow kept on begging him for mercy but he didn’t listen to her. The transporter was proud of his wealth and had political influence as well. People raised their voices against his heinous act. S. M. was arrested in the murder case of the child and put behind the bar. The court sentenced him to death. High court and Supreme Court maintained the decision. He was so resourceful that even the King of Iran recommended for his pardon but it was not accepted and the tyrant had to face the death snare. If his access was the King of Iran, the call of the oppressed accessed the Divine Throne. Many of the people confirmed that when the landlord met his relatives during his arrest, he used to say that their efforts could not save him from being punished. Whenever he slept, the innocent child whom he crushed intentionally would sit on his chest and he felt as if the child would kill him. Either it be the consequence of oppression or is it the retribution of one’s act? We must trust that the widow and an orphan who cannot approach the worldly rulers, Allah and His Prophet (ﷺ) help them themselves.
Similarly, there is another account that took place in the area of Fort Bijnot, Cholistan. A person from a noble tribe married a pious woman; he had a son from her. During the same time, he married another lady and had a son from her too. He possessed more than twelve acres of agricultural land, almost two hundred sheep and twenty to thirty buffaloes. He always treated his first wife very badly. He didn’t divorce her after the birth of her son, neither he fulfilled her needs nor gave her matrimonial rights. She, along with her son was forced to live with her parents. Due to her sincerity and hard work, her son (who had been deprived of his inheritance) possesses some agricultural land, almost seventy to sixty goats and five to six cows. He also owns a house and is living a respectful life. On the other hand his father who despite having wealth, cattle and agricultural land always begged for food. He died in distress in the desert. His family kept searching for him for fifteen to twenty days. At last they came to know that people found an unknown dead body and arranged his burial with charity money. Later on, the son (from his second wife) he considered to be his heir, became drug addict. He has sold all his agricultural land and livestock. The condition of his personal house is also very bad. Now he is grazing someone else’s cattle on labor. Wrong decision of inheritance couldn’t benefit the son as well. And the other son, his step-brother and mother, who were kept deprived of everything, are living a peaceful and content life. Surely the curses of the widow and the orphan would be chasing after…Astaghfirullah (استغفراللہ)
The consequence of bad company: In the city of Naushera-New, District Bahawalpur a person called “K” and his sons were indulged in cattle theft and robbery. Sometimes, during the occurrence, the owners of the cattle were also deprived of their lives. When the affected party got clues and reached near their village, the local landlords interfered and the affected person had to pay something for getting back his cattle and some were left crying only. At a distance of a few kilometers, some people from another tribe also made it difficult to live for the noble people due to their negative characters. Neither their lives, nor their wealth and dignity were safe. The sigh of the oppressed would have reached the heavens, and those who had been tormenting the common people were trapped. The person called “K” had a quarrel with his neighbors which dragged them up to the trial court. “K” invited the other family, with whom the only thing they had in common was committing thefts and robberies. He told them to come armed so that his neighbors are held in awe. Alcohol was also served along with dinner. Everyone was badly drunk, during this, a man called “S” started firing in the air with his pistol. He didn’t stop despite being asked. Finally, the host “K”, who was sitting right in front got fired and died at the spot. Later on, “K’s” relatives caught “S” and beat him a lot. He also died while police was taking him to the hospital. This is how the criminals reached their dreadful ending, which had been creating troubles for the humanity throughout their lives. Their relatives are wasting their time and money in pursuing the cases and some of them are imprisoned.
