Intelligence of a lady physician
(ChaudryFarooq Ahmed, Bahawalpur)

We played a trick to test their ability, that we scratched our partner’s leg with a wooden stick until it started bleeding.

Hilat Bin MehmadMujadri says, Bashar Bin Al Mufazal described him, “Our caravan of pilgrims was on its way while we crossed one of the Arab tribes. We were told that three beautiful sisters lived there who practiced medicine and were very skilled physicians. We played a trick to test their ability, that we scratched one of our friend’s legs until it started bleeding. We carried him on our hands to the girls’ home; we told the girls that he was bitten by a snake. The youngest girl among them came out; the splendor of her beauty was like shining sun. She saw the patient and said that snake did not bite him. We asked how? She said that his leg was scratched with such a stick on which, a male snake had urinated and the proof for that is that when sunshine would fall on his body, he would die. And really, when the sun rose in the morning, he died. We plunged in fear and surprise that how much intelligence that Arab girl was blessed with!!
