Devotion to mother
Bayazid Bostami was a great saint. In his childhood
he was a very obedient boy. He was especially obedient to his mother. Once
Bayazid was reading on his table. It was dead at night. The surrounding
atmosphere had a pin-drop silence of profound sleep. His mother was also in
deep sleep. Besides, she was ill. Suddenly his mother got up from sleep and
asked Bayazid to give her a glass of water.
Bayazid at once went to the pitcher. But
unfortunately there was not a drop of water in it. There was no source of water
nearby. So, Bayazid went to a distant fountain with the pitcher and brought
water for his mother. But by that time his mother was asleep again. Bayazid
thought that he should not disturb his ailing mother. So, he stood beside his
mother’s bed with a glass of water whole night. In the morning his mother woke
up. She was highly surprised seeing Bayazid with a glass of water beside her
bed. Her heart was filled with a unique love for Bayazid. She embraced her son
and prayed for him from the core of her heart.
