In ancient times, two men from the children of Israel struck a simple yet profound agreement. One man needed a loan of one thousand gold coins, and the other, trusting in Allah, lent him the money without witnesses or sureties. The borrower, in turn, set off on a journey across the sea. When it came time to repay the loan, he faced an unexpected obstacle: no ship was available to take him back. In desperation, he placed the gold coins in a sealed piece of wood, praying to Allah for its safe delivery.

This story tells of a powerful lesson about gratitude and kindness. Allah tested three men from the children of Israel: a leper, a bald man, and a blind man.

Each was blessed with health and wealth — The leper chose camels. The bald man chose cows. The blind man chose sheep.
