A dervish, whose prayers were always answered, appeared in Baghdad. Hajjaj Yusuf was informed and summoned him. He said, “Pray a good prayer for me.” The dervish replied, “O God, take his life.” Hajjaj asked, “For God’s sake, what kind of prayer is this?” The dervish replied, “This is a good prayer for you and for all Muslims.”
O oppressor who torments the weak, How long will this market last?
What use is world domination to you? It is better for you to die than to harm people.
