English Translation

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'While Ayyub عليه السلام was bathing naked, golden locusts fell upon him. Ayyub began collecting them in his garment. His Lord called out to him: O Ayyub, have I not made you self-sufficient so that you have no need of what you see? He said: Yes, by Your Honor! But I can never be free of need of Your blessing.'
