In Baghdad, ‏a begger was asking people for a dirham. ‏A renowned Muḥaddiš Sayyidunā Ibn Sammāk ‎رحمه الله ‏asked him, "Which Sūraĥ do you know well by heart?"The begger replied, "Sūraĥ Fātiḥaĥ."The eminent scholar said, "Recite it once and sell its reward to me. ‏I will give you all of my wealth in return."The beggar replied, "Your Eminence! ‏I have come here in compulsion to ask for a dirham, ‏not to sell the Qūr'an!"Saying this, ‏the beggar went to the graveyard. ‏Meanwhile, ‏it rained heavily with hailing. ‏The beggar leapt under a roof for shelter where he came across a rider dressed in green clothes. ‏The rider asked, "Are you the person who had refused to sell the reward of Sūraĥ Fātiḥaĥ?"The beggar replied in the affirmative. ‏Then, ‏presenting him with a bag containing ‎10,000 ‏dirhams, ‏the rider said, "Spend this, ‏and when you have spent it al,l I will give you ‎10,000 ‏dirhams again, ‏In'sha'Allah."The beggar asked, "But, ‏who are you?" ‏The rider replied, "I am your firm belief." ‏The rider then left.Tafsīr Sūraĥ Yūsuf by Imam Ghazālī RA(Painting: ‏Romualdo Locatelli)
