Junayd, a Sufi philosopher, tasked his disciples to kill a bird in a place unseen. All but one returned with the task done. The one who didn’t revealed a deeper wisdom.
In this Sufi story from Tales of the Dervishes, Khidr warns that all water will disappear and be replaced with water that drives people mad. Only one man heeds the warning and stores water for himself, observing the effects of the change on others.
