SHAYKH JUNAID BAGHDADI
Hazrat Junaid Raḥimahullāh relates “Last night, I was not able to sleep so I woke up and began reciting from my wird (wazifa). But for some reason, I could not even enjoy my wird (wazifa) as I used to all the time so I tried to sleep again, but I could not even sleep.
So I went outside my home where I saw a man lying near the road wrapped in cloak (chaddar). When this man saw me, he shouted “O’ Abul Qasim! What took you so long?” I said “O sir! Did we have an appointment?” The man said “Yes! I asked Allah who moves all hearts, to move your heart towards me, so Allāh did this for me.”
I asked the man “How can I help you sir?” The man said “I have a question for you. When does the heart’s illness become its cure?”
I replied “When the soul’s instinct is for good rather than sin and evil.” The man then looked at his own soul and said “Listen! I gave you this same answer seven times, but you don’t want to hear it from anyone other than al-Junaid! Now finally you have heard it from him!” The man then got up off the ground and left.”
