00:00Long ago in the city of Baghdad lived a wise and kind-hearted man named Wahab bin Amr.

00:19But everyone knew him as Bahlol, the wise laughing man.

00:25He wore simple clothes, walked barefoot and often spoke in riddles.

00:33Some thought he was just a fool, but others knew that he was hiding great wisdom behind his laughter.

00:41What sunny afternoon! Bahlol sat by the palace gardens.

00:47Make way! Princess Zuboido is coming to visit her city!

01:03What are you doing, Bahlol?

01:16Oh, your highness. I'm selling beautiful palaces in paradise. Only 100 dinar each.

01:23What? These palaces made of sand? For 100 dinar?

01:29Ah, these are only the models. The real ones are waiting in Jannah.

01:40All right, Bahlol. Give him 100 dinar.

01:44Yes, your highness.

01:54Hmm, you don't want a receipt.

01:57Write it and bring it to me.

01:59Bahlol donated those 100 dinar amongst the poor and needy.

02:05Here is your receipt, Zuboido.

02:22This is your palace.

02:26That you purchase from Bahlol today.

02:46A real palace in paradise?

02:48Oh, thank you, Bahlol.

02:51Yesterday, I bought a sand palace from Bahlol for 100 dinar.

02:55What? You gave 100 dinar to that madman?

02:59Yes. In return, he promised me a palace in paradise and I saw it in my dream.

03:05A grand palace.

03:07Just as he said, I am truly thankful to Bahlol.

03:12Bring Bahlol to me immediately.

03:16Oh, my friend Bahlol. Come, sit down.

03:20I want to give you 100 dinar.

03:23Sell me the palace like the one you gave to Zuboido.

03:31For you, it won't be 100 dinar.

03:35I'll sell it to you for half of your kingdom.

03:39Half of my kingdom?

03:41For a palace made of sand?

03:44But you gave it to Zuboido for 100 dinar.

03:48Well, Princess Zuboido bought it without seeing it first, with faith.

03:54But you want it after confirmation.

03:56Oh, my God.

03:58Princess Zuboido gave with trust and faith.

04:01And he was rewarded beyond her dreams.

04:04But Caliph Harun wanted proof before belief.

04:09and learnt that true rewards come only through sincerity.

04:14Behalul was not just a laughing man.

04:17He was wise servant of Allah,

04:20loyal companion of Imam Musa Kazim

04:24who taught people with stories, wit and truth.

04:32Sometimes the greatest treasures are the ones you believe in before you see them.
