It has been related that a great scholar called Allama
Shaheed Sayeed Abdu Sahib Al-Hakim, once received
a big sum of money as charity, the amount totaling
up to twenty thousand dinars. The Allamah at once
set to put various sums of money into envelopes and
wrote the names of numerous people on the envelope.
He would put hundred dinars in some and two hundred
in others, until he completed dividing the money.
The man who relates this incident says that the Allamah
then told him to accompany him and as they came up
to the house of a person the narrator was told to
knock the door, while the Allamah stood a distance
away. As soon as the door was opened the narrator
threw the envelope and they hurried away with the
Allamah.
In this way all the money was distributed in one
night while the Allamah didn't keep anything for himself.
