Chirya aur Andha Sanp | Sparrow and Blind Snake
‘I only earn so that I can spend in the path of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ’ (even though such a person may not like paying even 2 and a half percent Zakāĥ every year, and he may cause problems for many poor people).
Upon theft, robbery, fire or financial loss due to any reasons, he states, ‘I am not sad about it at all’ (even whilst he continues grieving over it).
After having a magnificent house constructed or after buying the best model of a new car, he says, ‘What will I do with it?! I have only fulfilled the desire of my children’ (though he himself likes such luxuries).
‘I have earned so much that now I’ve had enough’ (though the one saying this continues to earn money with great passion and continues to start new businesses).
‘I do not spend money extravagantly’ (whilst his lifestyle reflects something completely different!)
‘Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has given us a lot but we prefer simplicity’ (whilst the clothes they wear, the crockery in which they eat etc. are the complete opposite of simplicity).
‘I have got my son or daughter married with great simplicity’ (whilst the amount of money spent on this wedding would be sufficient to pay for a hundred weddings of poor families).
