Hazrat Junaid e Baghdadi Radi Allahu Anhu Delivers A Lecture

Hazrat Junaid-e-Baghdadi Radi Allahu Anhu spent his entire life, serving the Deen of Allah and His Beloved Rasool Sall-Allahu Aalihi Wa Sallam.
Once his Peer-o- Murshid, Hazrat Sirri Saqti Radi Allahu Anhu asked him to deliver a lecture, and he said that he did not find it ethical to lecture in the presence of his Peer.
One night, he dreamt of the Holy Prophet Sall-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam. Rasoolullah Sall-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam commanded him to lecture.
When morning came, he went to his Peer and found that his Peer was already awaiting his presence.
As he entered the Khanqah, his Peer said, "We have all been asking you to lecture. Now the Beloved Rasool has given you the command to speak."
He asked his Peer how he had known of his dream, and he said, "Last night I made Deedar of Allah Subhaanahu Ta'aala and I heard a voice which said that the Prophet had already commanded Junaid to lecture."
He agreed to lecture on condition, that there were not more than forty people in his lectures.
It was agreed and he delivered his first lecture. During his first lecture, eighteen people passed away. He then stopped his lecture and went back home.
