Devotion to mother

One night Bayzid’s mother was sleeping. Suddenly she woke up for thirst. She asked Bayzid a glass of water. Bayzid searched for water in the house. But all the pitchers and jars were empty. In fact, there was no water in the house. Then, he went out with a jar in that dark night to fetch water. He got frightened but he did not give up his effort of fetching water. He remembered that there was a well at the end of the village. It was a long way. He started walking quickly. The well was three kilometers away from their residence. He remembered Allah and was walking on and on. It took him an hour to reach the well. He filled the jar with water and began to walk fast towards their residence. It was 2 a.m. 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 in his hand. His mother woke up at 5 a.m. She was astonished to see her son’s devotion for her. She earnestly prayed to Allah to bless her son with the highest spiritual honour. Allah granted her prayer and made Bayzid one of His great devotees.
