Ask Allah, what He will give me for my efforts?

Ask Allah, what He will give me for my efforts?” Prophet Musa (as) said, “I shall find about it immediately.” He immediately climbed up the hill and called aloud, “O Sustainer Allah! This person wants to know about the reward for his prayers! Tell me, what shall I inform him?” He heard the sound, “O Musa (as)! Tell him, we shall inform him about his reward tomorrow.” Prophet Musa (as) went to the person and conveyed the message to him The pious man said, “It’s fine!

Tomorrow is not much of a time!” The pious person was in the habit of going to a nearby canal early every morning for bathing and fetching some water for his use. Therefore, the next morning too he started for the canal but he lost his way and reached somewhere else. Because of the sun’s heat he became very thirsty and tired. He sat on a lonely boulder and started thinking about his death. In that time he found a person coming from the other direction. He waved to the person to come to him.

When the person came nigh, he asked him to help him with some water. The man said, “Where is any water in this wilderness? Whatever little I have is only for me.” The pious person started crying. The other person said, “Fine! What will you give me if I give you a tumbler of water?” The pious man said, “I don’t have anything.

I have been busy in the cave praying for the last one hundred years.” The man said, “If you agree to transfer to me the Rewards for your prayers of one hundred years, I shall give you a tumbler of water.” The pious man thought, if he lived, he could pray for a further period to get the Reward from Allah. He said, I am ready to transfer to you my reward for the hundred years’ of my prayers. The man gave him a tumbler full of water and the pious person returned to his cave.

In the morning Prophet Musa (as) got a Revelation that the pious person transferred his hundred years’ prayers to another person in exchange for a tumbler of water. Ask the man to settle the value of the tumblers of water that he had been drinking during the last hundred years! Therefore, Prophet Musa (as) went to the cave and told to the person that he had a message for him from Allah. The man said: O Prophet (S)! I have already sold my hundred years of penance! Prophet Musa (as) said, “Yes!

I know.
