جزاء سنمَّار - The reward of Sinimmār Meaning: This proverb is used for one who rewards good with evil Background story: Once upon a time, a king named An-Nu’mān wanted to build a great palace that would supercede the places of all the kings of that time. An-Nu’mān asked sought after the most skilled builder in his kingdom, and he learned that the most skilled of them was a builder called Sinimmār. An-Nu’mān sent for Sinimmār and when he came to meet him he told him: I want you to build for me a palace the likes of which people have never seen in my kingdom, and I will reward you with a great reward. Sinimmār said: I am honored that the king has asked me to build his palace. I will build it for you, but it will cost you a lot, and I will need a thousand skilled builders. An-Nu’mān said: Ask for whatever you want, and you will find it in your hands momentarily. The most important thing is that you finish building the palace in the shortest possible time. Sinimmār spent days and nights preparing the drawings of the palace with his assistants, then he chose an excellent site on one of the rivers and began construction. He continued working on the construction, day and night, for several years without rest. The builders finished building, and so Sinimmār went to An-Nu’mān and said: Your palace is ready now, waiting for your arrival. King An-Nu’mān was happy with the news, and he was longing and eager to see the palace. He attended and admired its construction very much. He thanked Sinimmār for his effort, ingenuity, and artistry, and said: I never imagined that the palace would be of this greatness and luxury! You deserve a great reward... After a few days, the king moved to live in his new palace, and sent for Sinimmār. Sinimmār came and met King An-Nu’mān. An-Nu’mān asked Sinimmār to show him around with the palace and explain to him about the rooms and halls. An-Nu’mān and Sinimmār roamed around the palace, then they climbed to its roof. The roof was very high. The view of the city from afar was beautiful. An-Nu’mān asked Sinimmār: Is there a palace like this? Sinimmār replied: No. Then An-Nu’mān asked him: Is there a builder other than you who can build such a palace? Sinimmār replied: No. An-Nu’mān thought quickly, and said to himself: If this builder lives, he will build other palaces more beautiful than his palace... there is only one solution... yes... one solution! An-Nu’mān called some of his soldiers and whispered an order to them. Immediately, the soldiers seized Sinimmār and threw him from the roof of the palace! Sinimmār fell from such a great height to the surface of the earth and died instantly. So this was the reward that Sinimmār received for his great work! Example ⤵️ https://t.me/AlHajoori/320
