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.
