\u201cThere were two men who were partners and had collected eight thousand Dinars. One of them had a craft and the other did not. The one who had a craft said to the other, `You do not have a craft, so I think I will divide the money with you and leave you.\u2019 So he left him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then the first man bought a house, belonging to a king who had died, for the price of one thousand Dinars. He called his companion and showed him the house, saying, `What do you think of this house I bought it for one thousand Dinars.\u2019 He said, `How beautiful it is.\u2019 When he went out he said, `O Allah, this companion of mine has bought this house for one thousand Dinars; I ask You for one of the houses of Paradise \u2014 and he gave one thousand Dinars in charity.\u2019 Then as much time passed as Allah willed should pass.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first man married a woman with a dowry of one thousand Dinars, and invited his companion and made food for him. When he came, he said, `I have married this woman with a dowry of one thousand Dinars.\u2019 He replied; `How beautiful this is.\u2019 And when he left, he said, `O Lord, my companion has married a woman with a dowry of one thousand Dinars; I ask you for a wife from among Al-Hur Al-`Iyn\u2019 \u2014 and he gave one thousand Dinars in charity.

Then the angel came to them and took their souls in death. He took the one who had given his money in charity and put him in a house that he liked. There, there was a woman who was so beautiful that the ground shinned under her, then he (the angel) took him to two gardens and gave him other things which are known only to Allah. The man said, `This is like a man who has such and such.\u2019 The angel said, `That is exactly what it is; this house, these gardens and this wife are all for you.\u2019 The man said, `I had a companion who used to say: Are you among those who believe\u2019 It was said to him, `He is in Hell.\u2019 He said, `Will you look down\u2019 So he looked down and saw him in the midst of Hell.
