servants before serving them. So I remained with the jug in my hand
waiting for them to wake until the break of dawn and the children
were crying from hunger by my feet. So they awoke and drank their
evening drink. O Allah, if I did this seeking Your Face, so relieve us
from that which we are in on account of this rock.‟ Thereupon the
rock moved a little but they were unable to emerge from the cave.

Another said: 'O Allah, I had a female cousin, who was to me the
most beloved person of all people. I wanted her, but she denied me.
Then she was stricken by a barren year, so she came to me, and I
gave her a hundred and twenty dinars (gold coins) on condition that
she surrender herself to me, so she did. When I was in control,
above her, she said: 'Fear Allah, and do not break the seal except
with its rights,' so I left her although she was to me the most beloved
person, and I left the gold I had given her. O Allah, if I did this
seeking Your Face, so relieve us from that which we are in.'
Thereupon the rock moved again, but they were still unable to
emerge from the cave.
