Bahlool and the Prayers of Children

One day, a group of schoolchildren surrounded Bahlool and began teasing and bothering him. A man passing by saw this and said, “Why don’t you complain to their parents and put a stop to this?”

Bahlool, with his characteristic wisdom and patience, replied, “Be quiet. Perhaps, after my death, these children will remember the joy and laughter they had and say, ‘May God bless that madman.'”

Through this simple yet profound statement, Bahlool demonstrated his forbearance and his focus on leaving behind a positive legacy, even in the hearts of those who caused him trouble. His wisdom turned an irritating situation into an opportunity for kindness and reflection.
