A friend told the story.
He is named Budiman.
That afternoon he accompanied his wife and a daughter shopping for monthly household needs at a supermarket.
After paying, their hands are loaded with plastic shopping bags. Just as they came out of the supermarket, Budiman's wife was approached by a beggar woman who was then with her little daughter.
The beggar woman said to Budiman's wife, "Give us alms, ma'am!" Budiman's wife then opened her wallet and then handed out a banknote of 1000 rupiah.
The beggar woman proceeds to accept it. When he knew the amount was insufficient, he then squeezed his fingers toward his mouth.
Then the beggar held his son's head and once again he pointed the sprung fingers into his mouth, as if he wanted to say, "I and my son have not eaten for days, please give us extra alms to buy food!" the beggar of the woman, Budiman's wife replied with a gesture as if to say, "No ... no, I will not add charity to you!"
Ironically though she did not add her alms, his wife and daughter Budiman went to a fried cart to buy snacks.
On the same occasion Budiman walked towards the ATM center to check his account balance.
At that time it was a payday date, so Budiman wanted to check his account. In front of the ATM, he put the card in the machine. He presses the SALO INFORMATION button directly.
A moment later a number of digits appeared which made Budiman bring a small smile from his mouth. Yes, the payday money has entered the account.
Budiman withdraws a sum of money in the millions of rupiah from an ATM. Fractions of hundreds of thousands in red have now plagued his wallet.
Then there is one red bill too, but this time it was worth 10,000 which he pulled from his wallet.
The money then folded small to share with the beggar woman who had asked for extra alms.
When the beggar saw the value of the money received, how excited she was. He also thanked God and thanked Budiman with earnest sentences: "Alhamdulillah ... Alhamdulillah ... Alhamdulillah ... Thank you sir! May Allah give you a double sustenance for your lord and family.
May Allah give happiness to be born and mind for your lord and family.
Given the gift of a trustworthy family, mawaddah wa rahmah.
A harmonious household and children who are pious and pious. May you and your family be given an honorable position later in heaven ...!
Budiman did not think he would hear such a moving response. Budiman thought that the beggar would only say thank you. However, what was said by the beggar woman really made Budiman amazed and silent.
Especially when he once again heard the woman say to her little daughter, "Dik, Alhamdulillah, finally we can eat too.!!Budiman's heart was so hard hit.
Apparently the woman really hoped for extra alms so that she and her daughter could eat.
A moment later Budiman's eyes followed the departure of the two of them who ran across the street, then entered a tegal stall to eat there.
Budiman was still silent and stunned in that place. Until his wife and daughter returned and both greeted Budiman.
Budiman's eyes now began to glaze and his wife knew that. What's the matter, sir?
His wife asked. With a rather heavy voice and stumbling Budiman explained: "I just added alms to the woman as much as 10,000 rupiahs!" Budiman's wife almost disagreed when Budiman said that he gave additional alms to beggar women. But Budiman then continued the sentence: "Mom ... I gave alms to him as much as he did.
When he received it, he said hamdalah many times while thanking Allah. Not only that, he prayed for me, prayed for you, our children and family.
I was very sorry! He only received a gift from Allah alone for 10 thousand already, so great was grateful, even though I had seen at an ATM when I checked the balance and it turned out that there were probably hundreds or even thousands of ten thousand rupiahs. That balance, I just nodded and smiled. I forgot to be grateful, and I forgot to say hamdalah.
Bu I am ashamed of Allah! He received only 10 thousand so grateful to Allah and thanked me.
If so, who who deserves to enter the heaven of God, does he who receives 10 thousand with extraordinary gratitude, or do I receive more than that but I am the least said no hamdalah. "Budiman ended his sentence with a halting voice and a few tears dripping.
