Now, the mullah started (talking by) asking the priest ‘Where are you going?’. He said ‘I am going to Jerusalem. And where are you going?’ He says ‘I am going to Mecca, but I want to visit also Jerusalem. If I do not visit Jerusalem, my pilgrimage is not accepted.’ They put up in the hotel that day and remained there. The evening came and they wanted to eat dinner. ‘What shall we eat for dinner?’ They said ‘Let’s go down and buy for ourselves some chickens and come back and cook them ourselves. Why should we go to eat in a restaurant? We could eat them also tomorrow.’ They both decided (to do) thus. They go down and buy two chickens and bring them back. The put them in a pan and cook them, then sit down to eat them. They ate one chicken and one remained. The mullah sat in a chair, fell asleep and started snoring. The mullah started snoring, the priest remembered and said (to himself ) ‘Tomorrow is Friday.’ He said ‘Tomorrow is Friday. This mullah will eat the chicken and I shall have nothing. What should I do?’ He said ‘No! (While) he is asleep, I shall shall eat also this one. God is merciful until tomorrow. It was Thursday. The priest had forgotten that the next day would be Friday. The mullah would eat it and he would eat nothing because it was Friday. He put the chicken on the fire to heat it up. (After) it was heated, he sat down to eat it. He ate all the chicken. (Only) bones remained. He put them in the pan and put it aside. The mullah woke up. He said ‘(Did you sleep) well, mullah?’ The mullah said ‘Man, give me a break!’ I have just now had a dream. Was it (really) a dream? It was a clear vision.’ He said ‘What was it like?’ He said ‘Give me a break!’ He said ‘Was it good? Tell it (to me)!’ He says ‘I dreamt that I went to Paradise to the next life.’ He says ‘I went to the door of Paradise and behold the Messiah and Muḥammad were standing in the door of Paradise. The Messiah asked Muḥammad, he said ‘Who is that?’ He said ‘It is my mullah’. If he is your mullah, let him enter, eat and drink in Paradise. There are there fine grapes and houris. There is everything. He will enjoy himself and have a good time.’ He says ‘By God, they let me enter there. I ate and drank. What I ate and the enjoyment I had there could not be related.’ The priest says ‘And me?’ He says ‘Wait!’ He says ‘Meanwhile you also came.’ He says ‘You came and went up to them. Muḥammad said to the Messiah ‘Who is that?’ He said ‘He is my priest’. He said ‘He has no place here. Beat and cane him, and send him back’. He says ‘They beat you, they beat you, they beat you, until they made your skin swell, then they returned you.’ He (the priest) says ‘You have dreamt something unfair. You entered and ate fine grapes and chickens. You enjoyed yourself (with) houris. But they beat me while you were looking at me. I, out of my anger, came and put the chicken on the fire and ate it. I have left nothing for you.’ He said ‘How have you eaten it all?’ ‘I have eaten it, so what! I have eaten all of it’. He said ‘You ate there and enjoyed yourself. They drove me out and, out of my anger, I have come and eaten it.’
