3. The Treasure Hidden AgainBut then he paused. He thought of his daily

prayer to Allah. After a few moments reflection,

he said: “I asked Allah to send me treasure on

my hearth. But I have found these riches out in

this field. I cannot take these. If Allah wanted me

to be rich he would have sent this treasure to

my hearth. That was my prayer. I don't think this

treasure is for me."

Ali tied the cloth back on the jar, buried it in the

soil again and walked home.

As soon as he arrived home, Ali told his wife how

he had torn his shirt and how he had

accidentally found the hidden treasure. She was

delighted to hear his story.

“Show me this wonderful treasure!” she gasped.

Then Ali told her that he had returned the

treasure to the earth, because it had not arrived

on the hearth, as he had prayed for. The

treasure must not have been intended for him.(c) Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council 2009/SEMA/elearning HT_Assessment 3
