Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 12424a
"بينا رجل بفلاة من الأرض فسمع صوتا في سحابة: اسق حديقة فلان, فتنحى ذلك السحاب فأفرغ ماءه في حرة فإذا شرجةٌ من تلك الشراج قد استوعبت ذلك الماء كله, فتتبع الماء فإذا رجل قائم في حديقته يحول الماء بمسحاته فقال له: يا عبد الله ما اسمك؟ قال: فلان, للاسم الذي سمع في السحابة, فقال له: يا عبد الله لم تسألنى عن اسمى؟ قال: إني سمعت صوتا في السحاب الذي هذا ماؤه يقول: اسق حديقة فلان لاسمك, فما تصنع فيها؟ قال: أما إذا قلت هذا فإني أنظر إلى ما يخرج منها فأتصدق بثلثه, وآكل أنا وعيالى ثلثا وأرد فيها ثلثه".

"While a man was in an open desert land, he heard a voice in a cloud: 'Water the garden of so-and-so.' So that cloud moved aside and poured out its water on a stony tract (ḥarrah), and there was one channel of those channels that took in all that water. He followed the water, and there was a man standing in his garden, turning the water with his spade. He said to him: 'O servant of God, what is your name?' He said: 'So-and-so,' the very name he had heard in the cloud. He said to him: 'O servant of God, why do you ask me my name?' He said: 'I heard a voice in the cloud whose water this is, saying: Water the garden of so-and-so,' using your name. 'What do you do with it?' He said: 'Since you say this, I look at what comes out of it, and I give a third of it in charity, my family and I eat a third, and I return a third to it.'"
