“He said I had put the share of flour for this guest here, but now I will take it to your neighbor.”
Once a guest arrived at a man’s house. He told his wife that there is a guest and asked her to cook some food for him. His wife was a rude woman. She said that ‘every now and then you invite guests. I cannot do anything’. The man was pious. He went out and told the guest that ‘my wife is not feeling well so let us go to neighbors’ place’. He took the guest along to a neighbor. He told his neighbor that he has a guest and cannot entertain him at his home due to his wife’s sickness. The neighbor was a generous person. He said ‘Bismillah, please bring your guest in’. He got food prepared for the guest and humbly entertained them.When the guest left, the man went back to his home where he found his wife crying. He enquired the matter and asked her as to why she was crying. She replied that after he had left with the guest to the neighbor’s house, she went in the kitchen. ‘There I found a white bearded elderly man who was filling our flour in his bag. I asked him who he is and what is he doing? ’He said: ‘I had put the share of flour for this guest here, but now I will take it to your neighbor.’
A guest’s provision (Rizq) is endowed with prior his arrival.
