Hazrat Nafi narrates that Abdul Malik bin Umar said to Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz: O Commander of the Faithful! What is preventing you from fulfilling your intention? By the One in Whose hand is my life! I do not care if pots boil because of you and me. Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: O my son! Is this really from you? Abdul Malik said: Yes, by Allah! He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: All praise is due to Allah Who has created in my progeny such people who assist me in carrying out the command of Allah. O my son! If I were to suddenly bring forth what you have said to the people, I would not be safe from their rejection. Then, when they would reject, I would have no option but the sword. And there is no goodness in any good that comes by the sword. O my son! I am dealing with the people like one who is trying to control a difficult camel. So, if my life is prolonged, I hope that Allah Almighty will enforce something for me, and if death overtakes me, then Allah Almighty knows my intention.
