En Büyük Nasihat!
En Büyük Nasihat
Harun Reşid en tanınmış Abbasi halifesiydi.
Adaleti ve İslamin yayılması için gösterdiği gayreti ile meşhurdur.
786- 809 yılları arasında hüküm süren Harun Reşidin zamanında
Abbasiler çok büyük kültürel ve bilimsel gelişmeler kaydettiler.
Behlül Dana (k.s) da Halife Harun Reşidin zamanında yaşamış nasihatleri cile halifenin hep yanında olmuş büyük bir zat idi.
Rivayete göre Harun Reşidin annesi Behlül Danaya gelerek, Harun’a gel biraz nasihat et de adaletten ayrılmasın yoksa Ahirette işi çok zor olacak der.
Bunun üzerine Behlül bir gün Harun Reşide uygun görürseniz biraz dolaşalım der.
Ve alır onu mezarlığa götürür.
Tek tek mezarları göstererek, Bak bu filanca şu kadar malı vardı, şu kadar yıl yaşadı ve öldü.
Şurada yatan da filanca idi zamanın hükümdarı idi, şu kadar askeri vardı, şu kadar da hazinesinde malı vardı.
Şurada yatan kadın da, zamanın en güzeli idi, herkes ona sahip olmak için can atıyordu, sonunda biri ile evlendi şu kadar çocuğu oldu ve şu kadar yıl yaşadı der.
Eve döndüklerinde Harun Reşidin annesi, Behlül ile sohbet ettin mi sana neler anlattı diye sorar.
Harun Reşid hayır dercesine annesinin sorusuna cevap vermez.
Daha sonra annesi tekrar Behlil’e gelerek, Oğluma ne zaman nasihat edeceksin diye sorar,
O da şöyle cevap verir.
Ben ona nasihat ettim birlikte mezarlığa gittik.
Ona bazı gerçekleri hatırlattım.
Çünkü ölüm en büyük nasihattir.
Eğer bunu anlamadı ise diğer söyleyeceklerimin de hiç bir faydası olmaz.

The Greatest Advice
Harun Rashid was the most well-known Abbasid caliph.
He is famous for his justice and his efforts to spread Islam.
During the reign of Harun Rashid, who reigned between 786 and 809,
the Abbasids made great cultural and scientific developments.
Behlül Dana (ks) was also a great person who lived during the time of Caliph Harun Reşid and was always with the Caliph with his good advice.
According to the rumor, Harun Reşid's mother, Behlül Dana, came to him and said, "Come to Harun, give him some advice so that he does not abandon justice, otherwise he will have a very difficult time in the afterlife."
Thereupon, Behlül one day tells Harun Reşid that if you see fit, let's take a walk around.
And he takes it to the cemetery.
Pointing to the graves one by one, he said, "Look, this so-and-so had so much property, lived and died for so many years."
Lying here was so-and-so, the ruler of that time, he had so many soldiers, so much wealth in his treasury.
He says that the woman lying there was the most beautiful of the time, everyone was dying to have her, she eventually married someone, had so many children and lived for so many years.
When they return home, Harun Reşid's mother asks, "Did you chat with Behlül and what did he tell you?"
Harun Reşid does not answer his mother's question as if to say no.
Later, his mother comes to Behlil again and asks, "When will you give advice to my son?"
He answers like this.
I gave him advice and we went to the cemetery together.
I reminded him of some facts.
Because death is the greatest advice.
If he doesn't understand this, what else I say will be of no use.
