Have you ever heard abaut this story? (i guess my classmates did)


illustration

Caliph Harun Ar-Rashid has a servant, by the name of Bahlul who is a bit fool and unwise. One day, the Caliph gave Bahlul a stick and said to him that if he found anybody who is more stupid than him, he should give that person that stick himself.



One day the Caliph prepare a large entourage of a large group of palace servants and armies, with all the necessary supplies and enough animals to carry them to travel to a distant land.

He said to Bahlul: “See Bahlul I have made an extensive preparation for this journey, but there is another journey that all human beings will go.” Bahlul asked, “What is that?” The Caliph said, “The journey to the next life.” Bahlul asked again, “What is that?” The Caliph said, “The eternal life after our temporary life in this world.” Bahlul asked, “Would you made the same preparation for that journey?” The Caliph said, “No, in that journey, I’m going alone!”

Then Bahlul said, “In that case, I have found the person to whom I should give the stick that you have given to me. You made a large preparation to that distant land, but you are not going to make the same preparation to a place where you will dwell in forever.”

Hearing this, the Caliph Harun ar-Rashid was dumbfounded. Although he understood that Bahlul does not understand what kind of preparation that should be prepared for the eternal life, but what Bahlul said struck his heart and he understood the truth in it.
