EPISODE 1⃣5⃣: The Story of the Leper, the Bald Man and the Blind Man (Part 2/2)
➖➖➖
Afterward, all the three pregnant animals gave birth to young ones, and multiplied and brought forth so much that one of the (three) men had a herd of camels filling a valley, and one had a herd of cows filling a valley, and one had a flock of sheep filling a valley.
Then the angel, disguised in the shape and appearance of a leper, went to the leper and said, “I am a poor man, who has lost all means of livelihood while on a journey. So none will satisfy my need except Allaah and then you. In the Name of Him Who has given you such nice color and beautiful skin, and so much property, I ask you to give me a camel so that I may reach my destination.”
The man replied, “I have many obligations (so I cannot give you).”
The angel said, “I think I know you; were you not a leper to whom the people had a strong aversion? Weren’t you a poor man, and then Allaah gave you (all this property)?”
He replied, “(This is all wrong), I got this property through inheritance from my fore-fathers.”
The angel said, “If you are telling a lie, then let Allaah make you as you were before.”
Then the angel, disguised in the shape and appearance of a bald man, went to the bald man and said to him the same as he told the first one, and he too answered the same as the first one did. The angel said, “If you are telling a lie, then let Allaah make you as you were before.”
The angel, disguised in the shape of a blind man, went to the blind man and said, “I am a poor man and a traveler, whose means of livelihood have been exhausted while on a journey. I have nobody to help me except Allaah, and after Him, you yourself. I ask you in the Name of Him Who has given you back your eye-sight to give me a sheep, so that with its help, I may complete my journey.”
The man said, “No doubt, I was blind and Allaah gave me back my eye-sight; I was poor and Allaah made me rich; so take anything you wish from my property. By Allaah, I will not stop you from taking anything (you need) of my property which you may take for Allaah’s sake.”
The angel replied, “Keep your property with you. You (i.e., the three men) have been tested and Allaah is pleased with you and is angry with your two companions.”
