When you go to Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, you'll find it full of beautiful Iznik tiles... everywhere except one room - the bathroom. Strange as it may seem, the bathroom has mainly bare walls.

The reason for this anachronism lies in the Blue Mosque not so far away. A short 🧵 When Sultan Ahmed was having the Blue Mosque built, he was in a rush. Perhaps he felt the icy hand of death upon him desite his young age, but he would not let anything slow down the progress of his Mosque.

Sometimes he would even start doing manual labour himself.

There's a beautiful story on this about Imam Bukhari...

Once he boarded a boat with a heavy bag of money. A troublemaker noted this & shouted "Someone has stolen my bag of money!"

He hoped they'd find the bag with Imam Bukhari, accuse him of theft and he'd get the money. The captain ordered a search of all cabins but no bag of money was found. They rou doy abused the troublemaker and went about their business.

Later on the journey, the troublemaker asked imam bukhari what happened to the bag of money. How come no one found it?
