Behlool Dana

Haqayaty Behlol Dana

Complete Behlool Dana book In Urdu. Behlool (Urdu: بهلول‎‎) was the common name of Wahab ibn Amr (Urdu: واهب ابن عمرو), a companion of Imam Musa al-Kadhim. He lived in the time of the Caliph Harun al-Rashid. Bahlul was a well known judge and scholar who came from a wealthy background.

The Caliph had started a crackdown against the followers of the imprisoned Shi‘ah Imam Imam Musa al-Kazim (A.S). Wahab and a few others met the Imam and sought advice. Musa replied with the Arabic letter (jim). Each of these companions took their own interpretation of jim letter: jala'u l-waṭan (exile), jabl (refuge in the mountains) and for Wahab, junun (madness, possession by the jinn). The next day, Wahab left his wealthy life, wearing rags and came into the streets. Baghdadis soon dubbed him Bahlul.

Bohlool was born in Kufa and his real name is Wahab bin Amr. Harun Rashid feared for the safety of his Khalifate and kingdom from the 7th Imam Musa Kazim (A.S.); therefore, he tried to destroy the Imam. Haroun thought of a trick by which he could kill the Holy Imam. He put the blame of rebellion upon the Imam and demanded a judicial decree from the pious people of his time . which included Bohlool. Everyone gave the decree except Bohlool, who opposed the decision. He immediately went to the Imam and informed him of the circumstances, and asked for advice and guidance. Then and there the Imam told him to act insanely.

Because of the situation, Bohlool acted insanely by the Imam's order. By doing this, he was saved from Haroun's punishment. Now, without any fear of danger, and in amusing ways, Bohlool protected himself from tyrannies. He insulted the notorious Khalifa and his courtiers just by talking. Nevertheless, people acknowledged his superior wisdom and excellence. Even today many of his stories are narrated in assemblies and teach the listeners valuable lessons.

According to a more popular tradition, some of the Holy Imam's companions and special friends came to him because the Khalifa was angry with them, and asked him for advice. The Imam answered with the sole letter (jim); all of them understood that that was it and asked no further questions.

Each person understood the Holy Imam's advice in his own different way. One person took (jim) to mean (jala watan) --exile. Another thought of (jabl) -- mountain. Bohlool took it to mean (jinoon) -- insanity. This is how all of the Imam's companions were saved from calamity.

Before becoming insane, Bohlool lived a life of influence and power, but after obeying the Imam's order, he turned his face away from the majesty and splendor of the world. In reality, he became crazy. He dressed in rags, preferred desolate places over Haroun's palaces, lived on a bite of stale bread. He did not accept favors from or depend upon Haroun or those like him. Bohlool considered himself better than the Khalifa and his courtiers because of his way of life.
