14. Incident of the Deception of a Fake Peer

There was one peer in a village who would never lead the Salah. One day the people put him forward to lead the Salah. Due to the fact that he was completely ignorant (not even knowing how to lead Salah) he thought he should deceive the people in order to save himself. When he went to lead the Salah he started saying, “Dhut! Dhut! Dhut!” The people asked him after he said Salaam about what on earth he was saying. He replied, “There was a dog trying to enter the Ka’bah at that moment so I hushed it away so that it would not enter.” There was a clever person amongst them who made a plan of inviting him and all his disciples over for food in order to expose this imposter’s tricks. After inviting them, he brought the peer a plate of rice with meat hidden under the rice. When the peer saw this plate of rice, without meat, he angrily said with red eyes bulging out, “You seem to be a wahabi to me! The peer is supposed to be hosted with meat, all I see is nothing but rice!” The clever host then stood up saying, “Brothers! Your peer claims that he even sees the dog at the Ka’bah when in actuality he can’t even see the meat hidden one inch under the rice before him!” He then removed the rice to show the pieces of meat hidden below, and all the disciples repented from their foolishness and chased the fake peer out of the village.
