Islamically Speaking-Can We Avoid Our Fate?
by ana on Feb.23, 2009, under polygamy - the aftermath, Section 1
Let me share with you an amazing story:
“A rich merchant of Damascus saw death looking at him one day in the marketplace. He went straight to his house, hauld his gold onto his camel, and rode to Aleppo to escape. In the morning he awoke and Death was sitting on his bed, sharpening his side. Death said to him, you know who I am and what I’ve come for. And the merchant said yes, but I’m sure I saw you in Damascus yesterday. And Death said, yes. I was there. And I was surprised to see you because I knew I had to meet you in Aleppo today.”
If polygamy has already been written for a particular person, whether he/she likes polygamy or not, must it come to pass?
(Next to Damascus, Aleppo (Halab) is the second largest city in Syria.)

To sum it up – the man fought so hard to avoid his fate that he threw himself into it.
