Punishment

[Submit To Peace]

[Once] Ibrahim b. Adham was guarding a grape garden. A soldier who was passing by told him:“Give me some of those grapes!”

Ibrahim b. Adham replied: “The owner forbade me [to do this].”

The soldier began to lash him with his whip. Ibrahim b. Adham lowered his head & said: “Beat this head more, for it disobeys ALLAH often!”

On hearing this the soldier got irritated, was unable to continue the beating & departed.
