"إن رجلا من بني إسرائيل سأل بعض بني إسرائيل أن يسلفه ألف دينار فقال: ائتني بالشهداء أشهدهم فقال: كفى بالله شهيدا قال: فأتني بالكفيل قال: كفى بالله وكيلا قال: صدقت فدفعها إليه إلى أجل مسمى فخرج في البحر فقضى حاجته ثم التمس مركبا يركبها يقدم عليه للأجل الذي أجله فلم يجد مركبا فأخذ خشبة فنقرها فأدخل فيها ألف دينار وصحيفة منه إلى صاحبه ثم زج موضعها ثم أتى بها إلى البحر فقال: اللهم إنك تعلم أني تسلفت فلانا ألف دينار فسألني كفيلا فقلت: كفى بالله وكيلا فرضي بك وسألني شهيدا فقلت: كفى بالله شهيدا فرضي بك وإني جهدت أن أجد مركبا أبعث إليه الذي له فلم أجد وإني أستودعكها فرمى بها إلى البحر حتى ولجت فيه ثم انصرف وهو في ذلك يلتمس مركبا يخرج ¤ إلى بلده فخرج الرجل الذي كان أسلفه ينظر لعل مركبا قد جاء بماله فإذا بالخشبة التي فيها المال فأخذها لأهله حطبا فلما نشرها وجد المال والصحيفة ثم قدم الذي كان أسلفه فأتى بالألف دينار وقال: والله ما زلت جاهدا في طلب مركب لآتيك بمالك فما وجدت مركبا قبل الذي أتيت فيه قال: هل كنت بعثت إلي شيئا؟ قال: أخبرك أني لم أجد مركبا قبل الذي جئت فيه قال: فإن الله قد أدى عنك الذي بعثت في الخشبة فانصرف بالألف دينار راشدا"
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"A man from the Children of Israel asked another man from the Children of Israel to lend him a thousand dinars. He said: 'Bring me witnesses so that I may call them to witness.' He said: 'Allah is sufficient as a Witness.' He said: 'Then bring me a guarantor.' He said: 'Allah is sufficient as a Guardian.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth,' and he gave it to him for a fixed term. The man went out on a sea journey and fulfilled his need, then he looked for a ship to board so that he could return by the term that had been fixed, but he found no ship. So he took a piece of wood, hollowed it out, placed in it a thousand dinars and a letter to his companion, then sealed up the opening, then brought it to the sea and said: 'O Allah! You know that I borrowed a thousand dinars from so-and-so. He asked me for a guarantor and I said: Allah is sufficient as a Guardian, and he was content with You. He asked me for a witness and I said: Allah is sufficient as a Witness, and he was content with You. I have tried hard to find a ship by which to send him what is his, but I have found none, and now I entrust it to You.' Then he threw it into the sea until it went into it. Then he went back, while still looking for a ship to take him to his town. Meanwhile the man who had lent to him went out to see whether some ship had come with his money, and he found the very piece of wood that contained the money. He took it as firewood for his family. When he sawed it open, he found the money and the letter. Then the one who had borrowed arrived, bringing a thousand dinars, and said: 'By Allah! I kept trying hard to find a ship so that I could bring you your money, but I found no ship before the one in which I have come.' He said: 'Did you send me anything?' He said: 'I am telling you that I found no ship before the one in which I came.' He said: 'Indeed, Allah Almighty has delivered on your behalf what you sent in the piece of wood, so go back with your thousand dinars, rightly guided.'"
