Moulana Madani And Eating At Tables And Chairs

Qaadhi Athar Mubaarak Puri (Rahmatullah alayh) narrates about Hadhrat Moulana Husain Ahmad Madani (Rahmatullah alayh):

“The captain of the ship had arranged an elaborate feast in honour of Hadhrat Madani. Numerous people had participated. Tables and chairs were beautifully arranged  and laden with food. When Hadhrat Madani went upstairs and saw the arrangement, he said: “I do not eat from tables and chairs.”

Immediately on hearing this comment, the captain instructed the workers of the ship to remove the tables and chairs, and to arrange the food on the floor.”
