Isa bin Mariam, peace be upon him, said in a sermon in which he stood up among the sons of Isra’eel: I have awoken this morning among you, and my condiment is hunger, my food is what the earth vegetates for beasts and cattle, my lamp is the moon, my mattress is the sand and my pillow is the stone. I have no home that is to be demolished, nor property that is to be consumed, nor a child that is to die, nor a woman who will grieve. I have awoken this morning whilst I have nothing, and I slept at night whilst I had nothing, and I am the richest among the sons of Adam.
