Kastoori wala Baba│A faith-inspiring Story of an old man


Kastoori wala BabaA faith-inspiring Story of an old man

In this blog post I have narrated a faith-inspiring real story of an old man whose body smelled of musk.

This interesting story is about an old man. He lived in Basra. His body smelled of musk. People used to call him as Musk Sage. People were surprised that their body exuded foul-smelling sweat while his body exuded musk-smelling sweat. Many times people asked this Baba Ji about it but he avoided, did not tell anyone anything.

Let's Start the Story

"Kastoori wala Baba"

It is said that there lived an old man in Basra whose body smelled of musk. People used to call him as Musk sage. People were surprised that their bodies exuded foul-smelling sweat while his body exuded musk-smelling sweat. Many times people asked this Baba Ji about it but he avoided, did not tell anyone anything.

 

Once an old man, from somewhere came to Basra. He was also very impressed by the smell of Baba’s sweat and made up his mind that I would definitely ask Baba Ji why. So that old man stayed with this Baba Ji for three days. He checked every way that it does not smell, but he realized that Baba Ji does not use any perfume. Rather, the fragrance comes automatically from his existence. The old man asked him the reason in every way, begged him and finally asked God to tell me the secret of this fragrance.

 

Kasturi wala Baba finally gave in to his insistence and narrated his story as follows:

 

I was born in a very rich family. As a child I was very beautiful and shy. My parents kept me in the house for many years and did not let me get outside air. When I became an adult, they made me sit at a clothing store to familiarize me with people and overcome my shyness. I was a very timid and shy young man, and I never even looked up at a woman.

 

Once a very rich young girl saw me and fell in love with me. Impressed by my beauty, she used to come to that store again and again to buy clothes and used to express her love to me. It didn't affect me at all, I did not I say anything to her.

 

Once an old woman sent by this beautiful girl came to the store. She bought a lot of cloth and tied it into a ball. The lump was so big that it could not be lifted by the old woman. She said to the store manager:

 

“Just take this boy and send him with me, bring me home.”

The manager told me, so I picked up the bundle and went with her. I didn't know that old woman was sent by that rich beautiful girl.

 

The old woman took me inside a magnificent house and was telling me to come here, bring me here. At last she took me to a most beautiful room, on which beautiful curtains were hanging.

The old woman said to me “son, put this lump inside this room.”

 

As soon as I stepped into this room, I saw that the rich beautiful girl who came to my store was sitting waiting for me, well dressed.

 

As soon as I stepped inside, the doors of the room were locked from the outside. I was trapped inside. That beautiful girl caught me and invited evil. I was extremely horrified by this heinous act and remembered the order of Allah in my heart:

 

Do not approach adultery; it is an act of extreme indecency”

 

I could not even run away from there. Because all the doors were locked and there was a strict guard outside. Suddenly an idea came to my mind. I told that girl that before this work, I have to go to the toilet once for ablution. Please let me go out so that I can get rid of the need. She replied that there is no need to go out, the toilet is here. She motioned me towards the stairs to go there

 

On reaching the toilet, I looked from all sides to escape but the walls were very high and there was no way to escape. I intended to jump down from here, and then thought that it would be very foolish. Doing so would be tantamount to suicide.

 

I thought of a plan and while following it, all the impurity of the toilet got on my body, even on my face I accepted that impurity and came out screaming like a madman.

 

The maid was standing outside with a towel etc. I pushed her and reached the room of that beautiful girl saying first fool. My running around made her whole room smell bad and she was scared to see me. She was convinced that this was a crazy boy. Finally she opened the door and ordered her servants to throw me out.

 

They wrapped me in an old sack and dragged me out into the forest. When those servants left, I got up from there and went to the river to wash the impurity, washed the clothes etc. Then I reached my store.

 

I was so sophisticated that even after taking a bath I was disgusted with myself. Bathed again and again, but the illusion did not go away.

 

At night I had a dream. Hazrat Jibreel (A.S) met me in a dream. He congratulated me and conveyed the greetings of Allah. Then he perfumed my body with a small piece of cotton and said:

 

“Allah Almighty says that you made your body smell bad for my pleasure, now I have made you smell good forever.”

 

Since that day, this fragrance is coming from my being.

 

That old man of Basra says that after hearing this whole story, I understood that surely this is the fragrance of heaven. This cannot end in any way.
