Shaikh Abu Abdullah Jilaa says: "One day my mother asked my
father to fetch some fish
from the market. My father left for the market and I also accompanied
him. The fish was bought and we needed a
porter to carry it for us. We
engaged a boy who was standing there and who had offered to do the job for us. He put the load on his head and followed us. While we
were on our way, we happened to hear the
Azaan. The boy abruptly
spoke, 'Allah's summoner has summoned me; I have to take my
wudhu too. I shall now carry
the fish after salaat. If you
like you may wait, otherwise here it
is." Saying this he put
the load down and left for the masjid. My father thought when the poor boy could place his trust
in Allah so much, we must as well do so in a greater
degree. He, therefore, left the fish there
and took me to the masjid. When we three returned after
saying salaat, we found the
fish lying in
the sameplace as we had left it.
The boy then carried it to our house.
