Mohammad Ibn Sammak

He was great worshiper and mystic saint as well as a great preacher.He was popular in the private as well as in the general persons.

Maruf Karqi was a great admirer of his good preaching. The caliph Haroun Al-Rashid was also his great admirer. He told him “Oh : Haroun, honor of mysticism is great honor.”

He used to say the meaning of humility which is as follows. “The man should think himself low and he also told the example of persons who were passed away from the world are like medicines from which the persons were used to get cure but the example of persons of present time are like pain who are making healthy persons un-healthy.”

He told “In the past the preachers think preaching a difficult task is same like the persons of present time find difficulty to act upon the knowledge. In the present time there is shortage of learned people like the shortage of preachers in the past.”

Ahmed Huwari told once I took his urine to the doctor when he was ill and the doctor was a fire worshiper. When I was returning back from him and met a pious person on the way and that person asked me from where I was coming back? When I explained him all the details then that person told me; “It is very strange that Allah’s beloved person is taking help from his enemy. So tell him to put the hand on place of pain and recite this verse.

“Awouzo Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajim Wa Bilhaqqi Nazalna Wa Bilhaqqi Nazal.” So when I came back to him and explained him all the details which happened on the way. He recited the verse and put the hand on the place of pain and he was recovered from the illness at once and told him he was Khizer (as). At his last time he told “Oh :Allah at the time of doing sin I used to love your beloved friends so for this reason help me and forgive me.” When the persons asked him to marry then he replied it was difficult for him to face two Satans (devils).

Upon his death the persons asked him in the dream how Allah blessed him and he replied them “Allah blessed him but he could not get the position of persons who are married in that world and suffered difficulties to maintain them.”
