===============================
A man came to Iyas Ibn Muawiyah,a Muslim judge famous for his wisdom ,and the following conversation took place between them:

Man: What is the Islamic ruling regarding wine?

Judge: It is haram.

Man: How about water?

Judge: It is halal.

Man: How about dates and grapes?

Judge: They are halal.

Man: what is that all these ingredients are halal,and yet when you combine them, they become haram?

The judge looked at the man and said: if I hurt you with this handful of dirt, do you think it will hurt you?

Man: It would not.

Judge: How about a handful of water?

Man: It surely would not hurt me.

Judge: How about if I mix them, and let them dry to become a brick,and then hit you with it, would it hurt you?

Man: It would hurt and might even kill me!

Judge: The same reasoning applies to what you asked me!!

Iyas Ibn Muawiyah Al Muzani was judge in 2nd century who lived in Basra[Iraq(now)]. He was renowned for possessing immense cleverness which became a favourite topic in Arabic folklore.
