THE SAINT THAT NEVER SPOKE A WRONG WORD FOR TWENTY YEARS

A person narrates that he remained in the service of Hadhrat Rabee bin Khaitham (R.A) for a period of twenty years. He adds that during the entire period, the saint never said anything that was questionable.
However, when he was informed of the episode he looked towards the heavens and recited the following verse of the Qur'aan,
"Oh Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth! Oh the Knower of the seen and the unseen. You judge between Your bondsmen with regard to the matters wherein they differ."
He continues to narrate that he thought Hadhrat Rabee (R.A) would say something excessive upon the martyrdom of Hadhrat Hussain (R.A).
