Junaid’s Disciples and the Chickens
Junaid favored one disciple more than the others, but no one knew why; Junaid’s favorite appeared to be a fool. “Go to the market,” Junaid said to his disciples one day, “and bring back a live chicken.” When they returned with their chickens, Junaid said, “Now, go somewhere no one can see and kill your chicken.” The disciples rushed off to kill their chickens in secret, but the fool didn’t move. They then returned with their dead chickens and laughed at the fool. Junaid said to him, “Explain yourself.” “There is nowhere God doesn’t see,” he replied, and Junaid smiled.
