A sufi did not pray for 12 years

How can you say they represent Islam?

"My friend told me that she heard on QTV that Khuwaja Mueen ud Deen Chishti went to a village for preaching. He went into a Masjid to offer prayer. The village chauhdary did not let him to offer prayer. This made him angry. He came out of Masjid and hold the branch of a tree in anger and stood there for 12 years.

After 12 years, Shams Tabrezi came and recited Quran at his back, this reduced his anger and then he moved."

I firmly believe that these things are alien to these people. They were pious people and did not do such things. Even Prophets AS ate and spent normal human life with their families.

Why do people tell such stories? i.e. that Sufi was stopped from offering 1 prayer then he did not offer prayers for years? Is this helping Islam?

Please quote the source and not what TV said or your ‘friend’ told you.
