Q.1) Write the character sketch of the villager.
Answer:
The villager was an honest man, different from the others. He was the man of his words. He had returned to the court in time, fully knowing that he could be killed. He not only risked losing his life, but also saved life of Hazrat Abu zar Ghaffar (R.A). He showed his honesty by returning precious gold to his brother. He wanted to die in honor.
Q.2) Summarize the story with the help of mind map given below.
Answer:
Two men brought a villager to Hazrat Umar (R.A). He was accused of killing their father. They wanted to seek justice. Hazrat Umar (R.A) listened to both the parties. It was decided to sentence the villager to death on fair grounds, as the killer himself had confessed his crime.
The villager accepted the penalty and requested to delay the execution for three days. He gave explanation for his request of the delay, as he had to return the gold to his brother left by their father after his death. He promised that he would return as soon as he hands over the gold. Hazrat Umar (R.A) accepted the request on a condition to stand someone as surety who will be willing to suffer death if he failed to return.
The villager pointed Hazrat Abuzar Ghaffar (R.A) to stand as a surety who agreed to the condition. He was allowed to leave after the accusers accepted the condition as well. It was on the third day that the accuser and surety were presented in the mosque of Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) but the villager had not returned yet. Only an hour was left that the accusers came to Hazrat Abuzar Ghaffar and demanded to produce the villager. He (R.A) assured them of the return of the villager but in case if he failed, he was ready to face the death.
The court was anxious as the time was coming nearer. It was then, that the villager reached the court all perspiring and demanded to be slayed down. All the people in the court were astonished by the honesty of the villager. Hazrat Abuzar Ghaffar (R.A) then addressed the Caliph how could he not refuse to the villager to stand as his surety when he had selected him. Everyone in the court witnessed villager’s honesty that the accusers in the court forgiven the criminal and let him live.
