He thought to himself: \u201cHad I possessed food equivalent to the granules of sand in this sand dune, I would have distributed every bit of it amongst these people to relieve them of their hunger.\u201d Allah Ta\u2019ala sent revelation to the Nabi of that time: \u201cInform that man that Allah Ta\u2019ala has acknowledged and appreciated your noble intention and has hence recorded for you the reward of spending that amount of food in charity.\u201d (Mirqaat-ul-Mafateeh, vol.1, pg.100)<\/p>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Lesson:<\/strong>\u00a0A good intention may seem like something small and insignificant but in essence this is what brings value and life into our deeds.
