He is employed with a salary of 5 dirham. To him, the amount is not enough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Strangely, Imam Syafi&#8217;i ordered him to meet his employer to reduce his salary to 4 dirham. The man went to execute the command of Imam Shafi&#8217;i though he did not understand the purpose of the messenger.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">After a while, he came back complaining as he did not make any progression in life. Then Imam Syafi&#8217;i ordered him to return to his employer and asked to reduce his salary to 3 dirham. The man went away to perform Imam Syafi&#8217;i advice with awe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">One day, the man came to Imam Syafi&#8217;i and thanked him for his commands. He told Imam Syafi&#8217;i that his income (3 dirham) can satisfy all his needs. What is the secret behind this?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Imam Syafi&#8217;i explains that he does not have the right to earn more than 3 dirham with his work. The remaining of 2 dirham has deprived the wealth of his possessions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">In a nutshell;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">He collected the &#8216;<em>haram<\/em>&#8216; with the &#8216;<em>halal<\/em>&#8216; just to increase his properties. Unfortunately, when the bad entered the good, the properties ravage each other.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Perhaps this story can be a very valuable lesson to all of us. We can&#8217;t expect to get a high salary when we are not doing much works and we should not be proud of our high salary when we are performing unsatisfying workloads (unbalanced with the salary received).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reference:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tazkirah, T.
