Le hadith 'Quiconque visite ma tombe, mon intercession lui sera garantie' (Man zâra qabrî wajabat lahou shafâ'atî) [1] est une narration juste (hasan) comme conclu par l'Imam Abou al-Hasanat al-Lacknawi [2] et son étudiant 'Abd al-Fattah Abou Gho
Tamerlane was looking for someone to teach his donkey to talk. Nobody wanted the job. Finally the wise men of the dunes - Hodja Nasreddin took the position and promised to teach the donkey to talk in 10 years time.
- Are you crazy? his friends asked him.
- Not really, Hodja answered, the money is good the job is not hard and in 10 years a lot might happen: I might die, or Tamerlane might die or surely enough this old donkey might die.
