When Shani Dev challenged Hanuman ji for war
According to mythology, once Shanidev came to know about the strength and bravery of Hanuman ji. Shanidev was already proud of his strength and power, that is why he went to fight with Bajrangbali. When the God of Justice reached Hanuman ji, he saw that Hanuman ji was sitting at a place with his eyes closed and engrossed in the devotion of Ram ji.

After this, Hanuman ji explained to Shani Dev that he was engrossed in the devotion of his Lord Ram, it was not right to fight. Even after explaining, Shanidev remained adamant about fighting. After Shanidev did not agree, Bajrangbali got ready for war.
Importance of offering oil
