Human beings and rocks

One of the scientists, while he was collecting some of the stones from the bank of a river, he saw a stone which drew his attention. When he broke it he was astonished to see that it was completely dry from the inside. Despite its being in the water for a long period of time, water has not implemented in it. A lot of people are like this stone, mercy and compassion has not penetrated to their hearts at all, and sometimes you see the clear and pure springs and fountains bursting from the rocks in the mountains, as those people who donate their wealth and their gifts to the poor and needy in the path of Allah. There is great difference between the two, both are stones and others are human beings.

The smart kid

The gardener used some boys to pick up cherry fruits from his garden, and he said to one of them: " If you collect without eating them I will give you full two hands at the end of the day with your wages." In the evening the little boy came to the gardener who handed him his wages and asked him to fill his hands from cherries and leave. The boy said, "Give me your full two hands, sir." He wanted to take his large master's hands instead of his small ones, in this way the offer will be greater. So our hope from God to give us according to his riches and not according to our minds.

Thus, the two spoke for about ten minutes and then they both throw themselves into the river.

the small brush and began to draw some small black circles on the white cloth plate affixed to the wall and then painted the whole painting fully in black until it became completely black. The king shouted at the top of his voice asking about the painting.
