The Rabbi Story
One day Hazrat Bayazid Bastami while in meditation saw himself in a synagogue dressed as a Jew. At first he was confused, but when he kept on seeing the same vision over and over again, he decided to put it in to action. So, he dressed himself as a Jew and went to their synagogue.
When the Jews and their scholars were present, their chief Rabbi stood up to speak. But when he stood up, his tongue became stuck and he could not talk. After he had been standing quietly for some time, the Jews started to complain. The Rabbi said, “In this gathering there is a follower of the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) and I cannot speak because he has come to examine us.” On hearing this, their anger fled like wild fire and they asked the Rabbi to give them permission to kill this follower of the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH). The Rabbi replied, “He cannot be killed without proof, so we must talk to him peacefully and respectfully and then we can decide.” The Rabbi then said, “Oh Muhammadi. For the sake of your Prophet please stand up in your place. If you can remove our doubt about Islam then we shall accept Islam, but if you can't, then we shall kill you.” On hearing this, Hazrat Bayazid stood up and gave permission for them to question him.

After this the Rabbi couldn’t ask anymore questions and became quiet. Hazrat Bayazid said, “Now you give me the answer to my one question. What is the key to paradise?” The Rabbi replied, “If I give the answer to this question, this gathering will kill me.” The gathering shouted in one voice “We shall not do anything. Now tell us the true answer!” The Rabbi then said, “Listen! the key to paradise is: There is no God worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad (PBUH) is His Messenger.” On hearing this the whole gathering accepted Islam and Hazrat Bayazid returned giving thanks to Allah. |
