Bahlool and the commander of Kufa

Ishaq bin Mohammad bin Sabah was the commander of Kufa. His wife bore him a daughter. For this reason the commander was very sad and depressed. He stopped eating and drinking. When Bahlool heard about this he went to the Amir and said, "O the commander, why this sorrow and grief?"
"I hoped for a son, but regretfully, my wife had a daughter."
"How would you like it if Allah gave you, instead of these beautiful hands and feet, and a healthy and perfect girl, a crazy boy like me?"
The commander of Kufa laughed uncontrollably at Bahlool's speech, thanked Allah, ate his meal and drank water, and permitted people to come and congratulate him.
