Bayazid's Devotion to His Mother

Bayazid was a small boy. 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 Bayazid went to the kitchen to bring water, But he found the pitcher empty. He searched for water here and there, but in vain. Then, he decided to fetch water from the nearby fountain. He went out for the fountain. It took him half an hour to reach the fountain. He filled the jar with water and began to walk fast towards his residence. It was at dead of night when he reached home. He was sorry to find his mother in deep sleep He refrained from disturbing his mother and stood beside her bed with a glass of water His mother awoke at dawn she was moved to see her son's 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 His greatest devotees.
