Somebody once hit Bayazid Bistami with a stick. The stick broke. The
venerable saint took a new stick and a bowl of honey and gave them to
the man who had struck him, saying, "Because of my face, your stick
broke and you suffered loss, so here is a new one in its place and some
honey for you to eat."
Sheikh Muzaffer
