Story from Hazrat Shaykh Saadi’s Gulistan Hazrat Saadi Shirazi travelled extensively and faced many hardships. He narrates them beautifully in his stories. Saadi mentions that he always remained patient during hardships, but during one difficult journey, he arrived in a city bare-foot. With scorching heat and burning feet, a lament to God came on his lips over his present circumstances. He hasn’t finished his complaint, when he saw a person on street without legs, who was dragging himself with his arms. Seeing this, Saadi offered his Astaghfar and Forgiveness to God, as it’s certainly better to be without shoes than legs.
