Hazrat Omar (R) was a great Caliph of the Muslim world. He was a kind-hearted and just ruler. Usually, he went round different places at night to see for himself the conditions of his people. He did it in disguise. One night the Caliph was walking alone as usual.
Suddenly, he heard some noise while he was passing by a hut. He went near the hut and found some children sitting around a big pot. Their mother was cooking something in the pot. The children were hungry and they were crying for food. “What are you cooking?” the Caliph asked.
The woman looked at his face helplessly and did not say anything. Then the Caliph found out that there was no food inside the pot. She was just boiling water. He was very sorry.
He quickly came back to the “National Store,” took a bag of flour and carried it himself to the woman. “Thank you, stranger,” said the woman. “Thank you for your help. The Caliph should be as kind as you.”
In fact, the woman did not know that the stranger was the Caliph himself.
