11) Miracles Of The Saints
Junaid Baghdadi (رحمه الله)
1) Once one of the opponents of Hadrat Junaid (رحمه الله) raised a cry and attempted to defame him. They persuaded the Caliph to send his most beautiful slave girl to test his character.
The slave girl went to Junaid (رحمه الله) and began her coquettish tricks. Junaid (رحمه الله) raised his eyes, looked at her and again cast down his eyes. The girl continued in her quest. Junaid (رحمه الله) then raised his head and blew a breath upon her. She fell dead instantly.
The Caliph was pained greatly by her death and reproached Hadrat Junaid (رحمه الله) saying, "How could you tolerate killing such a beauty of the world?" Junaid (رحمه الله) replied, "Just as you, the representative of Allaah (سبحانه و تعالى) on earth, could tolerate attempting to ruin my 40 years of spiritual practises!"
