Abdul Qadir al Jilani one morning was still asleep at the time for the Morning Prayer. A cat came over to his side and nudged him until he awoke. Noticing the lectures of the time, Abdul Qadir quickly made his prayers. When he had finished, he looked at the cat. With his spiritual insight, he saw that the cat was actually a devil. This puzzled the great saint. So saint asked - I can see you are a devil, but why on earth did you wake me for the prayer? The cat answered - because you have discovered me, I might as well tell you. I knew that if you missed your obligatory prayer, you would offer one hundred prayers as compensation, so I woke you up so that you would get only the benefits of the one.
