Bohlool And the Khalifa’s Food
May 12th, 2017, posted in ChARACtERs, MESSAGEs, POEPLes, STORiES, SufismIt is said that Abbasid Caliph Harun Al-Rashid sent some food to Bohlool, in the hope of drawing him towards himself with this benevolent act.
His servant brought the food to Bohlool, put it in front of him, and said, “This is the Khalifa’s special food, he has sent it to you to eat.“
Bohlool placed the food in front of the dog that was sitting in the ruins of the place. The servant screamed, “Why did you give the Khalifa’s food to the dog !!”
Bohlool said, “Be quiet !! If the dog hears that the Khalifa sent this food, it won’t eat it either.“
