Take the food to him. He will eat as much as he desires and return the rest. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will grant you blessing in the leftover food and I guarantee you Paradise.’
The food-bringing labourer further informed the trader: ‘When I woke up from the sleep, I carried out the order, as you have just seen.’ The trader said: ‘I had heard him pray for the same food. How much have you spent on it?’ The person replied: ‘One Misqal of gold.’ Making an offer to the labourer, the trader said: ‘Is it possible that you take 10 Misqal of gold from me and allow me to have a share of 1 Qeerat (of reward) in this deed?’ The labourer replied: ‘It is not possible at all.’
Offering him a greater amount, the trader said, ‘I will give you 20 Misqal of gold.’ The labourer kept on refusing the offer even after the trader increased the amount of gold up to 50 and then 100 Misqal. The labourer said: By Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! I will not sell the thing the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has guaranteed even if you give me the wealth of the entire world. If you were predestined to do it, you would seize this opportunity before me but Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ showers His special blessings upon anyone He wills.’ Deeply embarrassed and anxious, the trader left the Masjid and it looked as if he had lost his precious asset.
