King Nasiruddeen Mahmood (رحمه الله) had a special attendant whose name was Muhammad, whom he would always address by this name. One day, the king addressed him as Tajuddeen instead of Muhammad. The attendant complied with the request of his senior and thereafter returned home, but did not attend the court of the king for a period of three days. Nasiruddeen (رحمه الله) noticed his absence and instructed that Muhammad be brought before him. When he arrived the king asked him why he had been absent.

He replied, "You always used to call me by my name, Muhammad, but when you addressed me as Tajuddeen, I assumed that you were displeased with me. Out of fear and anguish I seperated myself from you. I have passed these three days in extreme distress and sorrow." The king (رحمه الله) explained, "I can assure you that I am not displeased with you. I called out to you as Tajuddeen because I was not in the state of wudu' at the time and did not deem it appropriate to express the blessed name of Muhammad without wudu'." [Jawahir Pare, vol 1, p 136; Tarikh Farishta, vol 1, p 276] The intense love for Nabi (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is often manifested in remarkable ways. [Pearls from the Path, vol 3]
