Revenge of a Jinn

Description

Assalamu Alaikum, this tale I heard from my grandfather. When he first came to this village [toba], it was in a serene forest which did not contain any sign of a nearby human settlement and visibility was very limited. This was in sharp contrast to today's conditions with much water shortage when people often travel for miles to collect drinking water. Over time, as the population increased, the canal from which people used to collect water also slowly changed its course. We used to go there collect water and this is how our life was passing by. There was another village close to our village and its people are very kind and polite. People used to come and go back and forth between the village for basic trade. I made a friend there named Kareem Baksh a very good and hospitable person and we used to go together to collect firewood in the forest spending the whole day together. One day, Kareem Baksh's wife got very sick and we became worried. We took her to the village healer for help. The local doctor checked her up but he could not find any disease in her that he could treat. He advised us to take her to the Peer Murshid so that he could perform rituals on her and she would recover. However, with time, the condition of my friend's wife worsened even more. We returned home, took our camels and went towards the Peer. It was a long journey, it took us two days to get there and to return. Finally, we came back with the Peer Sahib who looked at her and after a little started performing some rituals. He sensed someone (some jinns) in her and started talking to them. He asked them what was going on. The jinns replied: "She went to canal to wash clothes and there she has killed (accidentally) our children." Then Peer said: "But she cannot see." They replied: "This is not our fault." So, after performing some more rituals the peer went back and a few days later, my friend's wife passed away.
