A man came to Prophet Solomon (AS), son of Prophet David (AS), and said:
“I saw a garden filled with fruit trees. In that garden, many pigs were eating the fruits, and a large pig sat on a chair. The large pig said to me, ‘O man, this fruit garden belongs to these pigs.’”
Prophet Solomon (AS) replied:
“The large pig represents an unjust ruler, and the smaller pigs eating from the garden with his permission are scholars who change religious laws to please him in exchange for rewards. These are the people who trade the hereafter for worldly gain, without fearing God’s punishment for their sins.”
