Fear harassing the friends of Allah

A group of shias intended to play a prank on a buzurg. One of them
pretended to be dead and was placed on a bier. The buzurg was then
requested to perform the janaazah salaah.
It was planned that after the second or third takbeer this person will
spring out and jump onto the buzurg.
The buzurg asked them to give ghusl to the dead person. They
replied, “We have already given him a ghusl.” He told them, “That
ghusl is not valid. Repeat the ghusl.”
Thus, they moved the bier away and took it back to their place. Upon
opening the bier they found that he had indeed died.
It was for this reason that the buzurg had ordered them to repeat the
ghusl because the ghusl that is done whilst alive is not valid. The
ghusl has to be given after death.
NOTE: These people had intended playing a prank on the buzurg
and Allah Ta`ala had taken revenge on behalf of the buzurg. One
should always fear harassing and harming the pious because even
their actions that seem to be mistakes are actually correct.
It appears in a hadeeth-e-qudsi: “I declare war against those who
harm My friends.” (Bukhaari)
