Islamic Exemplary Stories

A great gift for a devoted child to his father.

From Ma’mar, from Ibn Thawus, from his father, he said, “In ancient times there lived one from the Children of Israel with four children. One day he got sick. One of them said to his brother, ”You want to take care of father, but you will not get inheritance from father? I was the one taking care of him. Let me not get the legacy.”

So the boy took care of his father until he died, and buried him. Right, he didn't get the slightest inheritance.

Once, he dreamed of a poor man who acted arrogantly. The poor man said, “Come to your place, and dig, and you will find a hundred dinars of money. After that take it!”

In his dream the child asked, “The money is not?”

The guy replied, “No!”

The next morning the boy told the incident to his wife. His wife said, “Go just take the money. The money will be worth it if some of you buy clothes for me and as we use to shop for our lives.”

He refused to take it, and answered the words of his wife, “I do not want to take it something that is not worth it.”

When night fell, he slept, and had the same dream. The poor man said in the dream, “Come to anu's place, and take ten dinars!”

In the dream the child asked, “The money is different or not?”

The person replied, “No.”

The next morning the boy told his wife about the incident. His wife spoke the words as set aside in the first dream. But the boy did not want to take it.

Then on the third night silence dream the same. The poor man said in his dream, “Come to anu's place, and take one dinar.”

In the dream the child asked, “ The money is worth it or not?”

The person replied, “Ya, berbarakah.”

The boy said, “Then I want to take it.”

The next morning the child went to the place shown in the dream. Right, he found the dinar money there, and then he took it.

He replied, “One dinar.”

Finally the boy bought two fish and took them home. At home the fish was cleaned by his wife.

When the wife dissected the stomach of the first fish, she found a diamond in it. Call it a peerless diamond.

Same with the other fish. In the stomach it turns out there is also the same diamond as in the first fish.

The boy said, “Intan is sought after by the kings. They will search wherever they are and dare to pay whatever the price. Because diamonds like this are second to none in this world.”

Reportedly the diamond was found to the king. The king said, “Show me that diamond! I'll buy it.”

The boy had fulfilled the king's request. He brought the diamond to the king. When he saw the diamond, God amazed the king with its beauty. The king said, “ What is the price of this diamond?”

The child replied, “Gold should not be less than thirty horse shuttles.”

King replied, “I'm ready to buy it.”

Then the king's guards provided thirty horse-drawn trunks of gold to pay for the child's diamonds. Then the king looked at the diamond he had just bought. He was so amazed. The king said to his bodyguard, “Intan this will be more beautiful if you pair. Ask for a partner!”

Then the guards came to the boy to buy the other diamond. The guards said to the boy, “Do you have a pair of diamonds? If there is, the diamond of the pair we will buy all at a price that multiplies.”

The boy replied, “True?” They replied, “True.”

Intan who became his partner was brought and shown to the king. When he saw his partner's diamond, the king was very interested, then said, “I want to buy it.”

Then the guards bought the diamond at the same price as the other diamond.”
