Turk halkbilimcisi, halk edebiyati ve folklor arastirmacisi Pertev Naili Boratav’in dogum yildonumu (2 Eylul 1907)
“Hoca’nin cok yaslandigi gunlerden bir gun Azrail gelip kapisina dayanmis. Niyeti Hoca’nin canini almak. Hoca bakmis durum ciddi, ‘bana bak Azrail’ demis, ‘insanoglu bile birinin canini alacagi zaman son arzusunun ne oldugunu sorar, sen bana bu sansi tanimayacak misin?’ Azrail, Hoca’nin bu dilegini kabul edip son arzusunun ne oldugunu sormus. Hoca da olmeden once son bir kez namaz kilmak istedigini soyleyip kapanmis secdeye. Uc rekat, bes rekat, on rekat... derken boylece uzayip gidiyormus Hoca’nin namazi. Aradan hayli zaman gecmis artik iyiden iyiye sabirsizlanan Azrail dayanamayip Allah’in huzuruna cikip Hoca’dan dert yanmis. Demis ki: ‘Bu fani benden bir namaz icin izin istedi ama, namazi bir turlu bitmek bilmiyor.’ Bunun uzerine Allah, ‘birak’ demis, ‘birak da gariban diledigi gibi kilsin namazini.’ ”
“One day when the Hoca was very old, the angel o f death, Azrael, came to his door with the intention of carrying away the Hoca’s soul. Realising that the situation was serious, the Hoca declared, ‘See here, Azrael, even hum an beings g ra n t their victim s one last wish. Are y o u going to begrudge me?’ Azrael agreed and asked what the Hoca’s last wish was. He replied that he wanted to say his prayers one last time, an d bent over his prayer mg. But he went on praying and praying, with no sign of stopping. Finally Azrael lost patience and went back to heaven, where he complained to God about the Hoca. ‘This mortal asked permission to pray one last time, but he has not stopped yet. ’ At that God said, ‘Leave the poor fellow alone. Let him pray as much as he pleases. ’ ”
