beautiful slave girl to test his character. The slave girl went to Junaid and began her coquettish tricks. Junaid raised his eyes, looked at her and again cast down his eyes. The girl continued in her quest Junaid then raised his head and blew a breath upon her. She fell dead instantly. The Caliph was pained greatly by her death and reproached Hadhrat Junaid saying, “How could you tolerate killing such a beauty of the world?” Junaid replied, “Just as you, the representative of Allah on earth could tolerate attempting to ruin my 40 years of spiritual practices!”
Junaid once said, my teacher Hadhrat Saqti ordered me to deliver sermons. I claimed I could not do so in his presence. During the night The Prophet Muhammed (saw) appeared to me in my dream and commanded me to deliver sermons. In the morning as I was going to convey the message of the Prophet to my teacher I found him waiting at the door expecting me. Immediately on seeing me he remarked, “Up until now you have wanted somebody else to tell you to deliver sermons before you would do so”. Surprised I questioned how he would know all that had happened to me. He replied that the Lord (Allah) had told him.
Upon Junaids death when the time arrived for the people to give the dead body its final bath the divine voice was heard “Keep water away from the eyes of our friend. They are closed in ecstasy and shall open when they are blessed with our vision. Do not attempt to open his closed fist; this has closed due to counting our name on his fingers. It shall open when We shall order so.” Shortly a pigeon flew in, sat on the coffin of Junaid and began to speak in a human voice. “My feathers are nailed to this coffin with nails of love. If you do not carry the coffin I shall fly with it to heaven. (Tadhkeratul Auliya)
