Video - The Chicken and the Student: A Tale of Courage and Devotion
The students, who took the chicken with a knife, quickly spread out, found a secret place for themselves, and slaughtered the chickens. However, the student about whom they gossiped and said, "How is he different from us?" was not seen, even though it had been a long time. Those who came early were talking among themselves: - He doesn't have the courage to appear before the teacher, so he can come here! They were saying things like, "Who knows where he's wandering around now?" After a long time, that student came back with a live chicken in his hand without slaughtering it. Those who came to slaughter the chicken started laughing at him: - They said he couldn't manage to slaughter a chicken. His Excellency Üftade asked: - Where did you stay when everyone came here? We are always waiting for you, where have you been until now?... Then His Excellency Aziz Mahmud Hüdai, who was still living his student years and would later become a great guide, answered as follows: - Teacher, I also apologize for keeping you waiting. But wherever I went, I couldn't find a place where no one could see me. Even if I found the most closed place, I know that Allah Almighty would definitely see me. And so I ran hither and thither. "I came back without being able to fulfill your order," he said. Of course, after this incident, they understood why their teacher loved him so much and paid more attention to him. His friends envied his perfections.
