Have you not noted that for everything there is a key, and the key to greater means of sustenance is giving charity, so give it as charity.’ The son followed the instruction. Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, waited for only ten days until he received four thousand dinars from a certain place. He then said, ‘Son, we gave Allah forty dinars and He has given us four thousand dinars.’”
