Praying for Rain

It is recounted among the wise that there was once a great drought at 'Qasr al-Arifin', and the people went to the 'Master Bahaudin Naqshband', asking h

im to pray, to ask God for rain.

He led them through the streets until he came to a place where a woman sat, nursing a small baby in her arms.

'I beg of you to feed that infant,’ said the Master.

'I know when to feed the child,’ said the woman, 'as I am his mother. Why do you concern yourself with things which are disposed of in a manner whereof you know nothing?’

'Bahaudin' had the woman’s words written down and read out to the crowd.
