Bahlool

Bahlūl was the common name of Wāhab ibn Amr (واهب ابن امر), a companion of Mūsá al-Kāżim. He lived in the time of the Caliph Hārūn al-Rashīd. Bahlūl was a well known judge and scholar who came from a wealthy background.

Becoming Bahlūl

The Caliph had begun a crackdown against the followers of the imprisoned Shī‘ah Imām Mūsá al-Kāżim. Wāhab and a few others met the Imam and sought advice. Mūsá replied with the Arabic letter "ﺝ (jīm)".Fact|date=October 2008 Each of these companions took their own interpretation of the letter: "jala'u l-waṭan" "exile", "jabl" "refuge in the mountains" and for Wāhab, "junūn" "madness, possession by the jinn". The next day, Wāhab left his wealthy life, wearing rags and came into the streets. Baghdadis soon dubbed him Bahlūl.
