It is said that Haroun Rashid sent some food to Bahlool. His servant brought the food to Bahlool, put it in front of him, and said, “This is the Khalifa's special food, he has sent it to you to eat.”
Bahlool placed the food in front of the dog that was sitting in the ruins of the place. The servant screamed, “Why did you give the Khalifa's food to the dog!”
Bahlool said, “Be quiet! If the dog hears that the Khalifa sent this food, it won't eat it either.”
