QAADHI Shamsuddeen was a famous Buzrug during the Uthmaani (Ottoman) Khilaafate. Once in his court the Sultan had to appear to testify in a certain matter. After the Sultan had testified, the Qaadhi rejected his testification (shahaadat). Afterwards when the Sultan had queried the reason for the rejection of his testimony, Qaadhi Shamsuddeen responded: “The Sultan is not regular in the performance of Jamaat Salaat. The testimony of one who neglects Jamaat is mardood(rejected).”
