There was a certain man who was the
town drunk and this man died and the
people of the town refused to have him
buried. So this poor man's wife, she took
her husband's body and dragged it out to
the desert. And Arif Bilalah, a Gnostic is
walking by and helps her. And then the
wife says, do you know who this husband
of mine was? He was the town drunk.
He said, I don't know about that. But
what I do know is last night I
had a dream and a voice told me
that tomorrow you're going to be walking in
the desert. You're going to see a woman
trying to bury her husband. Help her. Her
husband is a man of Jannah. And then
the people of the town approached this man's
wife. How can this man be a man
of Jannah? And she said, I can think
of 3 things. He was never devoid of
2 or 3 orphan. That he cared for
more than his own children. In the morning
when he would wake up from his wine,
he would go take a shower and then
he would go pray salatul fajr in the
masjid. And when he would come home at
night from his wine, he would fall on
his knees and say, Oh God, which corner
of * are you going to fill with
this wretched servant of yours? And he would
make tawba to Allah.
