A gift from God

By Timothy Bowes

“Never disappoint a beggar who stands at your door; give him even as little as a date or less, for he is a gift from God to you. If you find nothing to give then send him away graciously with kind words and a promise.”

— Al-Haddad (2003) The Book of Assistance, Fons Vitae, p.69
