(Surah Al-Baqarah ,verse 201)

Khawatir' relates that a beloved friend of his came to him in need of
some money. Although the Sheikh didn't have anything to give this
friend, yet he asked the friend to meet him at a certain venue so that
he would give away the little he possessed, thinking of the saying
that if you can't give everything you can give a little.
As the Sheikh waited for this friend, he came across a verse of Noble
Qur'an which says that a person should give charity according to his
means, "Let him who has abundance spend out of his abundance and
whoever has his means of subsistence straitened to him, let him spend
out of that which Allah has given him; Allah does not lay on any soul
a burden except to the extent to which He has granted it; Allah brings
about ease after difficulty." (65:7)
The Sheikh saw that the verse was describing his position in respect
to his friend, as the Sheikh didn't have much to give to his friend
but he would help his friend according to his capability. As he took
out an envelope containing the little he had, he decided to write the
verse of Noble Qur'an on the envelope.
As he finished doing so, he found his friend coming towards him
happily and saying that he had obtained what he desired soon after the
Sheikh had promised to give him something.
