✧ Allah spread out two servants of His servants, increasing for them wealth and children. He said to one of them, “O so-and-so.” He replied, “At Your service, my Lord, and gladly.” He said, “Did I not increase wealth and children for you?” He said, “Yes, my Lord.” He said, “Then how did you deal with what I gave you?” He said, “I left it for my children, fearing poverty for them.” He said, “Indeed, if you knew true knowledge, you would have laughed little and wept much. Indeed, what you feared for them I have already brought down upon them.” And He says to the other, “O so-and-so, son of so-and-so.” He replies, “At Your service, my Lord, and gladly.” He says, “Did I not increase wealth and children for you?” He says, “Yes, my Lord.” He says, “Then how did you deal with what I gave you?” He says, “I spent it in obedience to You, and I entrusted my children after me to Your beautiful justice.” He says, “Indeed, if you knew true knowledge, you would have laughed much and wept little. Indeed, what you entrusted for them I have already brought down upon them.”
