Hadith 202

hen it was evening, he-as looked at his harvest and found it to have doubled. He-as said: ‘O servant of Allah-azwj! Who are you? You are a righteous servant. I-as have been over here since for as long as Allah-azwj so Desired. My-as harvest is nearby from each other, and tonight it has doubled. So, who are you? ’
He said, ‘I am a man settled in the land of Musa Bin Imran-as’. He-asws said: ‘He took a third of his harvest and gave in charity with it, and a third he gave it to a friend of his, and a third he bought some food with it, so he and Musa-as ate’. He-asws said: ‘Musa-as smiled. He said, ‘From which thing are you-as smiling? ’ He-as said: ‘A Prophet-as of the children of Israel pointed me-as to so and so, and I found him-as to be from the most worshipping of the creatures. He pointed me-as to so and so, and I-as found him to be more worshipping than he was. So and so pointed me-as to you-as and he-as claimed that you are more worshipping than him, and I-as haven’t seen you resembling the (those) people’. He said, ‘I am a man who is a slave. Haven’t you-as seen me mentioning Allah-azwj? Or haven’t you-as seen me praying the Salat to its timing? And when I turned to perform the Salat, I harmed the yield (harvest) of my master, and I harmed the work of the people. Do you-as want me to come to your-as city? ’
He-as said: ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘A cloud passed by him’. The blacksmith said, ‘O cloud, come! ’
He-asws said: ‘It came’. He said, ‘Where are you intending (to go to)? ’ It said, ‘I intend such and such land’. He said, ‘Leave! ’
Then another passed by him. He said, ‘O cloud, come! ’ It came to him. He said, ‘Where are you intending (to go to)? ’ It said, ‘I intend such and such land’. He said, ‘Leave! ’
Then another passed by him. He said, ‘O cloud, come! ’ It came to him. He said, ‘Where are you intending (to go to)? ’ It said, ‘I intend the land of Musa-as Bin Imran-as’. He said, ‘Carry this load as a friend and place it in the land of Musa-as Bin Imran-as, a friendly placing’. He-asws said: ‘When Musa-as reached his-as city, he-as said: ‘O Lord-azwj! Due to what has it reached this, what I-as saw? ’
He-azwj Said: “This servant of Mine-azwj has been patient upon My-azwj Afflictions and he is pleased with My-azwj Decree and is thankful for My-azwj bounties’’. [43]
