Summary Abou bin Adham (page no. 30)
Lesson no. (12) Abou bin Adham (page no.
30)
This is a very beautiful, simple and interesting poem written by Leigh
Hunt. He says that Abou bin Adham was a very pious man. He was very gentle,
sympathetic and kind to his people. He was very simple and religious minded. He
loved his fellowmen very much. He was of the view that God blesses and favors
those people who love his creatures. The poet throws light on an incident from
the life of Abou bin Adham. One night he was sleeping in his room. Suddenly he
woke up. He saw an angel in his room. The angel was writing something in his
golden book. Abou asked the angel what he was writing. The angel replied that
he was writing the names of those people who loved God. Abou asked the angel if
his name was there. The angel replied in negative. Then Abou requested the
angel to write his name among those people who loved mankind. The angel did so
and disappeared. Next night the angel came again and showed the list to Abou.
His name was at the top of the list.
