There was a famous ruler by the name Sulthan Mahmood and he had a slave called Ayyaz. Sulthan Mahmood loved Ayyaz very much because of his great wisdom. From time to time, Sulthan would test Ayyaz with various things to see how much love Ayyaz had for him. One day, Sulthan Mahmood gathered the most bitter fruits from his garden and called Ayyaz. Sulthan told Ayyaz to eat them. Ayyaz took the fruits in his hands and kissed them and then started eating them without any hesitation. Sulthan observed that Ayyaz was eating the fruits with great pleasure and the bitter taste was not affecting him in any way. Now Sulthan started thinking that he might've picked the wrong fruits, so, he took one of the fruits from Ayyaz to find out. As soon as Sulthan took a bite, he was overwhelmed by the bitterness of the fruit and started screaming for water. When Sulthan settled down, he asked Ayyaz why he was unaffected by the fruits. Ayyaz said "You only see the bitterness of the fruits but you don't see the one who gave them to me?

They were given to me by the king himself!"
