Miracle of the Saints :Habib Ajmi

Habib Ajmi

Once a guest was partaking of the meagre meal at Miracles of the Saints
that poor Ajmi had prepared for him, when a beggar knocked at the door. Ajmi took all the food and gave it to the beggar. Surprised at Ajmi’s ugly behaviour the guest (who was no other than Hasan Basri) said, “You must know a little of manners too!” Ajmi was silent for a moment, when to the surprise of Hasan there appeared a lady with a delicious dish. Both sat and partook of the meal. Then Ajmi spoke, “Hasan, you are a good man. You should develop a little more faith in Allah”. (i.e. know that something given in Allah’s name returns several fold). (Tadhkeratul Auliya)
