What is Faith?

Taking no advantage of one’s position Once, when a messenger of Caesar’s came before Umar, the latter’s wife borrowed a dinar and bought some perfume which she poured into phials and sent as a gift to Caesar’s wife. When the Roman Empress received the gift, she emptied the phials and filled them with jewels, telling the messenger to take them to the wife of Umar ibn Khattab. The latter received the jewels, and extracting them from the phials, placed them on her bedding. When Umar came home, he asked where they had come from. His wife told him the whole story, whereupon Umar took the jewels away and sold them. From the proceeds he gave one dinar to his wife and the rest he put in the Treasury. (AL-DAINAWARI)
