Have you not noted that for everything there is a key, and the key to greater means of sustenance is giving charity, so give it as charity.’ The son followed the instruction. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), waited for only ten days until he received four thousand dinars from a certain place. He then said, ‘Son, we gave Allah forty dinars and He has given us four thousand dinars.’”
