Once, during the rule of
Khalif
‘Ali
[r], a pearl necklace was given in
Zakah
by a wealthy woman to be
used for the poor. Like all the other
riches given in
Zakah
the pearl
necklace was deposited in the
Bayt-
ul-Mal
, the public treasury. The poor
and needy would come to the
Bayt-
ul-Mal
and be given whatever they
needed, whether it was food, cloth-
ing or money to buy some necessi-
ty or the other. The pearl necklace
too was to be sold and the money
used to buy food and clothing for
the poor.
Now
Khalif
‘Ali [r] had a daughter.
She came to know of the beautiful
pearl necklace in the
Bayt-ul-Mal
and like any any other girl who likes
pretty little things she wondered if
she could wear it, just for one single
a day.
