leme post a story bout imam bukhari, which shows his greatness

Once when Hazrat Imam Bukhari , was going to collect a hadiths, he had to travel by sea, so he used a boat . .

when he got on the boat he paid the boat man, his travel costs, and he put his change 1000 ashrafis (d currency) back in his pocket, while he was putting the money back, a man saw him putting 1000 back, and Hazrat Imam Bukhari (ra) noticed this..

Later on in the boat, the man that saw him putting the 1000 back, started shouting and saying "i had 1000 ashrafis in my pocket, and now they have gone, someone has stolen them from me, search everyone so i can find my money", when Hazrat Imam Bukhari , heard this, he clocked on what the man was doing, so he threw his 1000, in the water, and when he was searched they obviosly found nothing on him!

When the boat stopped, the man asked Hazrat Imam Bukhari (ra), "i saw u had 1000 ashrafis, were did it go?" Imam Bukhari (ra) replied " i threw it in the water", the man was shocked and said "why", then Imam Bukhari (ra) said "I had clocked on what you was doing, you saw me put the money in my pocket, and you would have made me to be the theif, so i threw the money in the water, because are you not aware that i have devoted my life to the hadith of RasoolAllah (saw), and my authenticity is well known and if i was a theif all my hadiths would be counted as false, and i was not prepared to loose what i had earned my whole life just for money"

mashallah see the greatness!!!
