Stinging Scorpions do not sting, for a period!

True, in Amroha.

Mazar Dargah Of Hazrat Sharfuddin Shahwilayat, Amroha)

There are venomous scorpions in the area. But they do not sting within the premises of the durgah. You won’t believe your eyes! What’s more surprising is the fact that you can take them home and for a specified length of time they will continue to behave themselves. It’s a sort of warranty period during which they do not sting. But as the clock strikes end-of-warranty period, they inexplicably turn into their natural stinging nature.

The Tradition :: In the spiritual town Amroha, the great historical Dargah of Hazrath Shahwilayat,A famous live-miracle of scorpio is still a witness of the spiritual status of Hazrat Sharfuddin Shah Wilayat in the form of a change of nature of an insect (scorpio/snake) on his shrine. Everybody knows that stinging is the nature of a scorpion. But in the premises of the shrine of Hazrat Shah Wilayat, no scorpion stings, no matter if it was used to sting before. Even people can take it for a defined period of time and it will not bite for that duration even if it is away from the shrine This change of behaviour of insect is attributed to the spiritual status and highness of Shah Wilayat. A tradition says that when Shah Wilayat arrived Amroha, the Sufi of the nearby area, Hazrat Khwaja Geso Daraaz Rehmatullah Aleh sent him a kooza (cup) full of water, hinting the satiation of this place in spirituality due to his presence. Hazrat Shah Willayat smiled and put a rose on the water of that bowl and returned it back. In this metaphorical communication, it was meant to suggest his status as a rose in the so-called ‘spiritually saturated’ Amroha. In response, the learned Sufi Geso Daraaz exclaimed that on your shrine there will be scorpions. Shah Willayat replied ‘yes, but they won’t sting’. And on your shrine there will be donkeys.’ Which Geso Daraaz replied saying ‘yes, but they won’t desecrate the place by their refuse’.
