The End of Arrogance
There was an arrogant king from the Umayyad dynasty named Yazid bin Malik. He said that people say that no day in life passes with happiness and peace; some sorrow or the other always arises.
One day, he issued a decree to his courtiers that no one should bring me domestic or foreign news today, even if a major attack occurs on the country. Today, I will show that a person can designate a day of happiness for himself whenever he wants, and no sorrow will befall him. So, he took one of his beautiful and charming concubines and went to the upper chambers of the palace and began to enjoy himself with her, indulging in merriment and becoming intoxicated with the arrogance, he became engrossed in preparing to celebrate. He sat the concubine in his lap and was happily feeding her grapes when suddenly the concubine laughed at something, and a grape got stuck in her windpipe, and she died there and then. The day that was supposed to be the happiest day of Yazid bin Malik's life turned out to be the day of his sorrow.
The king went mad and insane in her separation. He did not allow her to be buried for three days. When the corpse began to rot, the family members forcibly buried her. Eventually, he too died.
The end of arrogance is dust.
