Devotion to mother/ Bayazid's love for his mother 

Long ago, there lived a boy named Bayazid. He was kind, gentle, and loved his mother very much. He always obeyed her and tried to make her happy.

One night, Bayazid was reading quietly when his mother woke up and said, “Son, I am very thirsty. Please bring me some water.”

Bayazid quickly got up and went to the kitchen. But there was no water. It was very late, and all the wells were far away. Still, Bayazid took a jar and walked to the nearest well.

It was a long walk, but he didn’t stop. He filled the jar with fresh water and came back home.

When he returned, his mother was fast asleep again. Bayazid didn’t want to wake her. So he stood beside her bed, holding the jar, waiting for her to wake up.

After a long time, his mother opened her eyes and was surprised to see Bayazid still standing there with the water.

“Oh my dear son,” she said, “you are truly a blessing. May Allah give you great reward for your love and patience.”

Bayazid smiled. He was happy because he could serve his mother.

Later, he became a great scholar and saint, loved by everyone. But he always said that his first duty and happiness was to serve his mother.

Moral: Loving and serving parents brings blessings.
