Once there was a small boy named Bayazid. His mother was ill. One night, he was studying by the side of the bed of his ailing mother. All on a sudden, his mother woke up, raised her head and told her son to give her a glass of water. Instantly, he went to the pitcher for water but the pitcher was empty. So, he went to fetch water from the fountain which was at the end of the village. After returning home with water, he saw his mother in a deep sleep. He refrained from disturbing his mother and stood beside her bed with a glass of water. His mother awoke at dawn and saw Bayazid there standing with the glass of water. She was very much pleased for this devotion to her. She earnestly prayed to Allah to bless her son with the highest spiritual honour. Allah granted her prayer and made Bayazid one of the greatest men of the world.
