“Allah desired to test three people from the Children of Israel. One
was a leper, another bald-headed and the other blind. So Allah sent
to them an angel. First, the angel went to the leper and asked him,
„What would you like best?‟ He replied, „A good complexion with
clear skin and the removal of my affliction because people dislike
me on account of this.‟ The angel passed his hands over him and
his affliction left him and his skin was good. Then the angel asked,
„What would you like most to possess?‟ The man replied, „Camels‟

„May Allah bless it for you.‟

you like best?‟ He replied, „A fine head of hair, and the removal of
my affliction because people dislike me on account of this.‟ The
