A guy (khajeh) was harnessing a mule and going on a road. Bohloul came across him and shouted: how much does this ass cost? Khajeh said! This is mule not ass. Bohloul replied I did not ask you but, I asked the mule.
A wealthy khajeh had died, and a throng's population had gathered for his funeral, in a way that the place was not really occupied. Because the population pressure got too much, a man shouted: Hey people! Do not push and do not attack these bodies you may suffocate him due to high pressure. A man with Poor and nasty voice was singing in a meeting in a way that the participants were in suffering and were seeking a way to get rid of him. At the same time an ass in the yard burst into shout. Bohloul got up and put his hands on the man's mouth and said it is enough; it's you brother's turn.
A corresponding and selfish poet told him I would like on a moonlit night, in a place of serenity and lush, just sit alone and listen to murmuring rivers and I poetize there and no annoying donkey found there. Bohloul said: if so, no ass would be there than you. A Novice poet who pretends to sensation said: I am sad of human Bohloul said: Go and sit with your fiends...! Once Harun al-Rashid asked him delicately, did you see some persons more stupid than you? He said: Not at all, it is the first time I see...! One day they got him the news that someone has had an incomplete stroke.
He replied; If his brain were perfect, he would not have imperfect stroke.
A peasant's ass had an abortion so, he and his sons were sitting sad. When Bohloul knew the story said: Mr. to be health. You have instead of ass, numerous offspring who are worth a hundred each...! Once the sheriff of the town told him that I will be sent to another city for a few days, now say goodbye to all. Said this is a big tragedy Said to you…! , Bohloul replied no to the target city!
One day a Khaja came out of the house party. Stood a moment Next to the courtyard, Khawaja said: Why are you staying? Let `s go together. He said: No, you go by your own, I'll walk there...!
He was asleep by the door of the authority house. The Sheriff came and rebuked him and said hey guy, Get up and Go, here is forbidden to asleep. Since no response he heard, the sheriff shouted louder and said I'm with you, you do not understand human language?! He got up and said: I do not understand the language of you and your Master's...! A Fool guy asked I want to have my hairs cut, where the barber shops, Bohloul replied is: in order to cut your hairs a teacher is needed and not a tonsorial stupid.
A group on the Big Square of a village was quarrelling over a petty fight and daggering each other from the left and right. In the corner of the field and off a few asses were there so, Bohloul told the asses slowly that please forgive them that carry your names on themselves. Someone unjustly accused him and ran to him and the judge complained to him and summons him and said: What do you say about this man's claims? Said he is lying, said: Swear. Said...! Is it fair that you eat all the blessings on the earth and I swear …?
A man has had a sudden death and the crowds of people gathered around him and had asked about the cause of death Bohloul said: What a wonderful question you ask! , it turns out that this guy had died due to death.
One's father had died and he was unaware of that, so, the friends have chosen him to give the news. Then came to him and said: I have several questions and if you answer honesty, ill say well to you. He said yes. He said, well done! Said are your sons alive? Replied yes done! Said is your father alive? Replied yes. He said: Oh liar! A guy's father had died and, he did not know. Hastily came to him and asked, is the dad okay? Said Alhamdulillah is still healthy. Said damn on liars,
They asked him what the purest (white-faced) men before God are: Bohloul replied: grinders.
A Fool said I believe in destiny and what is written on my forehead, and I don’t speak calmly in life troubles. So, immediately he slapped him on the ear! He asked what you did. Said: I believe in fate and destiny because this slap was destiny, then has no glory...! a so-called Philosopher spoke that there is nothing impossible in the world it is just stupid people who are surprised. Bohloul suddenly, got up and shrieked, that man asked, what happened? Said my nails fell on my neck! Said it is so surprising and I wonder if it is possible. An oppressive guy had spread on the roof of his house the preparation for a party and the roof was too heighted. Because he got drunken Slipped and downed the alley and immediately died, people were saying, what's going on? Said nothing, a catastrophe was hit and thank God was repelled. He was told whom do you spend time with? Said with the camels and goats! They asked what you mean. Replied with those who are tolerating in thirstiness and hunger as camels and in cowardly are like goats...!.
A wealthy and oppressive guy was on the roof, Slipped down and his arm was injured and said: go to my slave and tell him soon that your sir was injured and let the doctor know. Bohloul said: you fell down such a high roof and didn’t fall of authority. Once, the peasant gave him a herd of sheep so, he took them to the desert and released them in a pasture while watching them. The Sheep were grazing each on a corner and slowly spread across then, all of a sudden, a sharp teethed wolf which was seen not far away was ambushed to attack them. So, get together so that the wolf fails to entrap you and I can trap it so, his cry did not fall effective and regardless of the wolf, the sheep kept grazing and still were scattered more on the ground. Then, Wolf broke out the attack and devoured many of them. Bohloul drove the rest of them towards the village while many of them were also severely wounded. When arrived, the peasants asked the story while crying and shouting in desperate, Bohloul said: swear God! Your sheep is like you, what I begged them to avoid scattering and come together, they did not move their heads...!
Once he had worn a black gown and was sitting in grief. The people asked the reason for that, he said; my spirit is dead, so, I am sitting in mourning...! He went over the top of a stack and shouted: Hey people! Listen, crazy Bohloul has a secret that will tell you. Thus, large crowds of people gathered by his scream, in a way that the huge population was like a rippling sea. When all people sat down, he said I have a questions of you all, tell me your answers now, why a hint of a mad guy make collect you and a thousands of wise people disperse you ...?!
Harun al-Rashid told him that recently I afraid of the darkness and the night darkness and put me in fear. Said it is Strange, I has not heard till today that someone fears what he owes to it...!
One day he took his ass to the market of animal to sell it so; an idiot guy ran to buy it and said I buy it. Bohloul said to one condition. Said what conditions? Said: From what you said, " took the letter "mi" and leave the rest , then, I to sell it to you ....!
One of the relatives of Harun al-Rashid positioned as a state governor so; as he came there he intended to gather the townspeople from small to old. When it happened, he stayed on a height, talked and provided some examples about himself as well as Haroun Al-Rashid… and ultimately, promised the people of justice and tranquility. Suddenly, Bohloul got himself on top of the podium and shouted to the crowd: Oh people! What he said was quit true and absolutely I know this man; he has pure assets and he is a precious blessing that God has bestowed upon us. Thus, as soon as the sermon was ended, and the crowd dispersed, the governor commanded to bring him into his presence. And he said: Who are you, the stranger that show love to me and my benefactor? Said: My name is Bohloul. Said what do you mean by what you said today? Put his mouth into his ears and said: please keep it secret, you made them donkey, so I did you…!
One day Harun al-Rashid asked: What is the biggest beast of the sea? Bohloul replied: it is the whale, and then asked: What is the largest animal of the land? Replied: God forgives me! Which animal can be larger than the caliph…..?! Considered
A guy told him that my luck is slept, and will not awaken. He replied: You will have no chance to be slept or waken up. A teacher told to him that I am short of money, distressed and drowned into debts please pray for me to be accepted and responded. Then, Bohloul raised the hands to the sky and said: repeat? , he repeated: I was homesick here, open this window; if you open a window, you will find a neighbor; oh, doe who are supposed to born into life.........! .........!
In a meeting, they were talking about Harun's oppression. One said it is our duty to rise against the cruel. Another said the spring does not come with one flower. Bohloul relied: you're wrong with a flower, the spring starts. One day, riding on a donkey, was crossing a road. Aaron and his particular courtiers arrived on horseback. Suddenly the ass burst into the bray, and it was striking on the ground as if the ass has received a joy and began to dance. Aaron burst into a rage and said: hey foolish, put ass's voice off now that is so strident. And said Swear God it is not my fault, this stupid ass start dancing when see some one who is unfamiliar...! One day the chief minister of Harun al-Rashid told him that are you stupid or pretending to that? Replied perhaps, to draw your great altruism sense of you, I have pretended to foolishness. One day entered into mad house and went before the judge. The judge said, what do you come for? Replied: I have something to say. Said: What is your request? Said previously, I had half a meter width and two meters long, but it is a few years under the shadow of your judgment neither do I have a width or length.
He was asked what is like the universe and the people of that. Replied: the universe is like a tree and the people are like small fruits that has grown on them and, when the fruits are raw, are rarely glowing to the tree and when ripened then, they can easily separated from trees and sweetens the mouth.
He lost his ass in the crowds of the streets then, frequently came into made house and entered into the house of the judges and searched for a moment. The ports rebuked him and said what are you seeking? Replied: be quiet! What I have missed outside, I will find here because it is finder.
One day the robbers robbed his donkey so, in depression and grief, sat on the rocks and was crying loudly. Then, the people sympathized that the donkey does not cost crying, he replied: I do not cry for ass but, I cry for the robbers therefore, my donkey was the most foolish one so I afraid that the robbers strive for training it and put it on the kingdom seat. Harun al-Rashid had summoned him, he went and a moment later he came out in grief. Someone asked what is causing your grief? Replied I came to the Caliph, but whatever I searched I could not find him. One day he was sitting in front of a judge for litigation, all of a sudden someone shouted in the street. Hey! Thief! Get him, immediately, he got up, leaned out the window and said: Do not shout, hey stupid! If you dare, come here and yourself take him. Trickster and bandit man had gathered a crowd of peasants around himself and were saying: Everyone gives me a chicken or rooster; I will pray that Almighty God puts all disasters away from him. Bohloul said: Oh people, escape soon! The pray of this man will be responded soon...! One day, he was passing the market when saw a tray in full of dates so; he came closer and asked for the price. The Shopper did not respond and looked stunning on him. Because he did not receive an answer a gain; he astonished and said: What a time era is that! Everything has got expensive so is the people's ear. There was a well-to do and known trader. One day told Bohloul that respect your poverty that is so a great privilege and this huge amount of wealth caused me so much suffering so, Bohloul: said: I modify this statement and I say that one who has more assets he and his name is more devoted. Someone told him that I get up early in the morning replied: you don’t get up out of asleep but, you get up of the bed so, there is a huge difference between these two types of getting up.
He got out of a house, someone told him; good night. He replied: you are wrong; the good pray is that to say "the night to be short to you. A bluffer guy took him to the judge and accused him of something which had not committed therefore; the judge said what do you say against the demand of this man? Bohloul replied: he is wrong. The judge said he is a liar: the judge said do not reject it I know you well. Said I know this man notoriously and he is a bad guy, now, whose fault is that?
An Opulence hypocrite advised him that all the blessings of the world is mortal and lucky are those who do not love these transients blessings, property and divorces the universal assets.
Replied: hey well-to -do guy! : You teach leaving the world to people and yourself and collect properties.
A Scholar asked, "How can we find him? He replied, I am a rather confused man, if saw myself, I will also find him. Someone claimed that he stole his garment, so they entered in the presence of the judges. The judge asked Bohloul: have you seen this guy somewhere before? He said: No, I've never seen. The judge was infuriated by that deadline and said until tomorrow you shall tell the truth, now go and come tomorrow. When tomorrow came, the judge asked what you say. Have you seen this man before? He said yes. The judge was delighted and said: good tell me right now where you saw him? He Replied: yesterday, in the presence of you. A Common Man from told him that I have a cap that is loosening frequently and falls down the head, what can I do? Said to be secure till your head is tight, there are plenty of hats. Someone bought his Cap to ten dinars when he came, his friends said, you were overcharged, it costs just one dinar. Bohloul replied: he is not deceived, because he has bought a visible hat by one dinar, another hat by 9 dinar that is invisible….?
A greedy guy told him that the Paradise is the place for the wise and oracles and not for lunatics like you. Replied I appreciate my craziness that is an obstacle for entry into heaven where a wise like is supposed to enter. He was told: What is reason for heavy sleep? Replied the lightness of idea, the more light thinking style is, the heavier and the sleep.
One day morning Harun al-Rashid told him that last night I dreamed you. Replied it is a life that I see you in my dreams. A selfish Opulence was on his deathbed, Bohloul with a number of people was near him. The rich man cried that I have excessive fever; I do not know how to spend the night? He said: Do not worry, this time your night is over. A rich man built a lofty edifice and hundreds of laborers had forced to work since morning until the evening and instead of dinars, pay them dry bread. Someone passed by the building, and saw Bohloul standing and is looking around the job asked? What's going on here? He replied: Nothing, they give bread and take the life. A foolish had lost his donkey, and was searching it in worry. When he got to the house Bohloul, entered the courtyard and shouted: hey People of the house, did not see you a donkey enters here, because he did not receive an answered went to the room and saw Bohloul who is sitting and staring at him. Asked hey brother haven’t you seen an ass to be without the owner: Bohloul replied yes! It was already in the yard and was braying.
One day he was passing a shop with variety of fruits and dates. He went into it and took a tray of dates and went away. The shopper stopped him and said what are you doing, foolish! Replied is not intending doing?! So I want and can take this tray of dates! The shopper said: you are right; wanting is doing but not quite often. Once again Bohloul addressed that shop to a number of foolish so; the foolish guys rushed into that shop and ate all the dates. The shopper screamed that stop! Aren't you Muslim? Bohloul replied: yes they are but not you quite often.
