Sufi Story: When Uwais el-Qami was offered gold
Uwais el-Qami was offered some gold. He said:
‘I do not need it, as I already have a coin.’
The other said: ‘How long will that last you?—it is nothing.’
Uwais answered: ‘Guarantee me that I shall live longer than this sum will suffice me, and I will accept your gift.’
