– There was once a sheik in Damascus called Abu Musa al-Qumasi.
Everyone honored him for his great wisdom, but no one knew whether he
was a good man.
"One afternoon, a construction fault caused the house where the
sheik lived with his wife, to collapse. The desperate neighbors began
to dig the ruins; eventually, they managed to locate the sheik’s wife.
"She said: "Don’t worry about me. First save my husband, who was sitting somewhere over there.”
"The neighbors removed the rubble from the area she indicated, and
found the sheik. He said: "Don’t worry about me. First save my wife,
who was lying somewhere over there.”
"When someone acts as this couple did, she/he is purifying the whole world.”
