Video - The Lord of the Manor: A Tale of Servants and Sickness
"Once upon a time, these were gentlemen, doormen were servants. Come and see now, who is the lord, you do not know, his servants? Yunus Emre "Hocazade Mehmed Efendi, famous as Çelebi Mufti, one of the scholars who lived at the beginning of the seventeenth century and one of the sheikhs of Islam of Sultan Ahmed I, was very afraid of contagious diseases. He was a man. Wherever Çelebi was, illness and death were never mentioned, and he never went to anyone's visit or funeral. One day, one of the servants of his house fell ill and died. His Excellency, without hesitation, invited a bricklayer to his mansion. He told the master to knit the door of the room where the housemaid died. After the master built a wall over the door, Çelebi gave a separate directive: Now go, walk around the garden and drill a hole in the wall of that room, let them dig up the body and bury it. Do not use this room again. Divine Wisdom, like "trash stings the eye of the one who avoids it", despite all his care, Hocazade Mehmed Efendi caught the plague and passed away.
