Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Once Sayyiduna Ayyub (peace be upon him) was bathing naked. During this, a shower of locusts made of gold fell upon him. Sayyiduna Ayyub (peace be upon him) began gathering them in his clothes. His Lord called out to him, 'O Ayyub! Did I not make you independent of what you see?' He replied, 'Yes, but I am not independent of Your mercy.'"
