Oneday Hadhrat Bayazid Bastami rahmatullah alayhi while in meditation, saw himself in

a synagogue dressed as a Jew. At first he was confused, but when he kept on seeing the
same vision over and over again, he decided to enact it. So, he dressed himself as a Jew
and went to their synagogue.

When the Jews and their scholars were present, their chief Rabbi stood up to speak. But
when he stood up, his tongue became stuck and he could not talk. After he had been
standing quietly for some time, the Jews started to complain. The Rabbi said, "In this
gathering there is a follower of the Prophet Muhammed (sallalahu alayhi wassalam) and I
cannot speak because he has come to examine us."

On hearing this, their anger raged like wildfire and they asked the Rabbi to give them
permission to kill this follower of the Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu alayhi wassalam). The
Rabbi replied, "He cannot be killed without proof, so we must talk to him peacefully and
respectfully and then we can decide."

The Rabbi then said, "Oh follower of Muhammad (sallalahu alayhi wassalam). For the sake
of your Prophet please stand up in your place. If you can remove our doubt about Islam
then we shall accept Islam, but if you can't, then we shall kill you." On hearing this, Hadhrat
Bayazid rahmatullah alayhi stood up and gave permission for them to question him.
