before, weren't you the leper that everyone disliked and
whom Allah made rich?"
The man, in his ingratitude, said to the angel, "No, not me, I
inherited my property from my family."
The angel looked straight at the man and said, "If you are
lying, may Allah return you to how you were before." So,
once again, the man became a poor leper.

am very poor and in need. I have spent everything I have on
my journey and now I have nothing left to help me to
continue on my way, except Allah. I ask you in the Name of
Allah, the One who has given you such a fine head of hair
and wealth, to give me a cow so that I may continue on my
journey."
