“Once, a righteous poor man had a dream in which two men asked if he wanted the hidden treasure of 1,000 dinars beneath a tree. He inquired, “Is there Barakah in them?” When they said no, he declined the offer, saying he didn’t need them. The next evening, the two men reappeared in his dream, now offering the remaining 500 dinars under the tree. Again, he asked about Barakah, and when they told him there was none, he turned down their offer. This pattern continued for several nights, with the treasure’s amount decreasing each time. Finally, the two men asked if he wanted the last two dinars left under the tree. As before, he questioned: “Is there Barakah in them?” This time, they said yes. Eagerly, he asked for the treasure’s location. The next morning, he went to the spot shown in his dream and discovered the two dinars. With the two blessed dinars in hand, he went to the market and bought a fish to take home. Upon cutting it open, he found a precious jewel inside the fish’s belly, worth thousands of dinars.”
