Pearl of Wisdom
'Whoever sleeps and wakes up possessing three things, then bounties for him in this world are complete: he who sleeps and wakes up with a healthy body, safe in his den, with enough sustenance for the day. And if he has a fourth thing then the bounties of this world and the Hereafter are complete in him, and that is faith.'
Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa] Tuhaf al-'Uqul, p. 36
