One day on the road, Hadhrat Uthman al Hiri met a young man who was deeply drunk and playing on an instrument. Hiri caught the man by the hand and brought him home. He gave him a bath and new garments of a dervish to wear. Then presenting him before the Lord he prayed, “I have done everything that I was capable of doing, now you shall do what you will”. Immediately by the grace of the Almighty the boy passed into an ecstasy and attained a great spiritual state. When Hadhrat Uthman Maghribi witnessed the boy’s spiritual power he remarked that he was envious of him. He could not attain in twenty years that high spiritual state which this boy had attained in a moment by the grace of Allah.
