One day, as Malin Kundang turned adult, he asked his mom to let him hitch a docked ship nearby and wander to the big cities to get better fortunes for the family.
Even though his mother got in the way, Malin still insisted on going.
Finally, with a heavy heart, Mande Rubayah allowed his son to go.
Days by days passed, after years of waiting for her son, one day, Mande Rubayah heard a news from her neighbor that a large ship docked near the village and that the beautiful large ship belonged to Malin Kundang and his wife.
Mande Rubiyah immediately went to see her son.
“My son, Malin, you are finally back, dear,” Mande cried happily to see Malin Kundang and his very beautiful wife walk off the ship.
Unexpectedly, Malin shook and pushed his mom away from him.
When his wife asked him who that old woman was, he answered frantically, “She is an old beggar who wants to ask for a small part of our wealth!”
Mande Rubayah was really shocked and upset. She fell on her knees, hugging her son’s feet.
Feeling ashamed of his wife, Malin immediately kicked his mother and said, “Go away old beggar! I am not your son.”
Hearing that, Mande Rubayah cried brokenhearted.

She left her son while praying to God, “My dear God, if I got it wrong and that he was not my son, please forgive him. However, if he is my son, Malin Kundang, I do ask for your righteousness.”
Not long after Mande Rubayah said her prayer, big rains fell upon the earth, huge storm shook Malin’s ship and terrible thunder hit his ship.
On the following day, people saw a kneeling man-shaped stone on the coast line. People believe that it is Malin Kundang who kneels for his mother’s forgiveness.
