Junaid Bagdadi's love for his Mureed Abu-Bakr Shibli
Once a few disciples of Hazrat Junaid-e-Baghdadi (radi Allaho anhu) were seated together praising Hazrat Abu Bakr Shibli (radi Allaho anhu). They said, There is none that is more respected and honest amongst us than Abu Bakr Shibli (radi Allaho anhu) As they were having their discussion, Hazrat Junaid-e-Baghdadi (radi Allaho anhu) entered and said, What are you discussing about Abu Bakr Shibli All that you have said is improper. He is not as good as you all say. Now remove him from the room. After Hazrat Abu Bakr Shibli (radi Allaho anhu) left the room, Hazrat Junaid-e-Baghdadi (radi Allaho anhu) addressed his disciples and said, I have a hundred times more respect and love for Shibli, compared to that which you were discussing. When you were praising him in his presence, it was like you were striking him with a sword. It was for this reason, that I had no option but to say what I said, so that it may be a shield against that which you were saying, if not he would have been devastated (for he could not accept being praised, due to his humility).
