عَـلَیۡهِ رَحۡـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـکَافِی was not present. He asked the sick person where he had gone! The sick person told him that he had left for Baghdad. The trader said, ‘How far is it to Baghdad?’ ‘It is 40 miles’, he replied. The trader mumbled to himself, ‘I really troubled myself with chasing after him for such a long distance and surprisingly I could not realize the long way! Now how would I go back?’ He then asked the sick person that when he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would come back again. ‘On the next Friday’, he said.
The trader was compelled to stay there till the next Friday when Sayyidunā Bishr Ḥāfī عَـلَیۡهِ رَحۡـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـکَافِی came on his time and fed the sick person the bread. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said to the trader, ‘Why did you chase after me?’ The trader respectfully said, ‘Sir, it was my mistake!’ He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said, ‘Get up and keep following me.’ Hence, the trader began to follow him and in a short while both were in Baghdad. Witnessing the true miracle of Sayyidunā Bishr Ḥāfī عَـلَیۡهِ رَحۡـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـکَافِی, the trader did penance from hatred towards the Awliyā (the holy saints رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی) and became a devotee of holy people from his heart.
