There once was a man, who because of all the sad happenings in the world, came to believe that God did not care much about the people and that he would reluctantly watch how the weak were suppressed by the mighty and the poor overcome by the rich.
God sent an angel to this man
who led a virtuous life. This one spoke unto him, "You shell get to know
the inapprehensible ways of God, follow me!" The angel guided the man into
a palace to a very rich gentleman. The angel gave a big sum of money and many
gems unto him. - During that bestowal a needy man reported to the rich man. The
angel killed the poor man. -
Thereupon he guided the man into a village to an almost decayed hut, where a
large, extremely poor family was living. This hut the angel set on fire and the
poor inhabitants saved nothing but their lives.
When the man saw all of this, he spoke to the angel, "You are no messenger
of God but a messenger of the devil! You accumulate unrighteousness and nothing
but unrighteousness."
The angel spoke, "Listen and you shell reason differently soon! - Behold,
the rich one that I gave unto was proud and cheap. But when I increased his
wealth significantly, he began to feast and splurge it all until he eventually
became a beggar and started to humble himself. - The beggar that I killed was on
the right path, however, he would have made a great inheritance the very same
day and thus would have become arrogant, lived a life in debauchery and
completely fallen off of God. - The poor family whose hut I set on fire was
almost ignored in the village before. The fire harm though arroused lots of
sympathy near and far and the poor family was given plenty of presents from all
sides."
