A man who liked to take part in banquets even though he was not invited saw a group of people walking by.  He thought they were going to fulfill the invitation to the wedding reception.  So he got up and walked after them.  It turned out that they were poets who were about to go to the sultan and offer him praise poems.  After one by one the poets hummed their respective verses and received gifts from the sultan, it was the turn of the man who liked to join in.  He sat and was silent in front of the sultan.  Then it was said to him, "Hum your poetry!" The man replied, "I am not a poet." He was asked, "Then who are you?" The man replied, "I am among those who have gone astray whom Allah has said about them."  those poets are followed by misguided people." The Sultan laughed at his answer and gave him a gift.
