Once a person came to Yunus ibn ‘Ubayy, and he complained of extreme poverty - as he had not been blessed with much.
Yunus ibn ‘Ubayy asked him, ”Would you be willing to give away your sight for a certain amount of money?”
The man said, “No, of course not.”
Then he asked him, “Would you be willing to give your hands away?”
He said, “No, of course not.”
He asked, “Your feet?”
He said, “Of course not.”
When he finished he said “I see that you have hundreds of thousands of millions of blessings, yet you are complaining of poverty?”
