SULTAN AND SULTAN OF THE SULTANS
One of last Sultans of the Ottoman State, Sultan Abdulaziz Khan, was very devoted and full of reverence for the Prophet (s.a.s.) One day whilst he was lying in bed ill, pale and semi-conscious, he was told:
"Here is a petition from a the people of Madina". Hearing this, the Sultan gathered all the strength that he could muster and said to his helpers:
"Take me downstairs immediately. Let me listen to the petition that has come from the Haramayn whilst standing. A request from the neighbours of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.s.) cannot be listened to whilst seated and with my legs stretched out, contrary to courtesy"
Whenever the post came from Madina, he would renew his ablution and kiss the letters saying "They have the blessed dust of Madina on them". He would then hand them to the head scribe to open and read them.
