The Floating Money

A man asked to borrow a thousand dinars, and when the lender wanted witnesses and a guarantor, he said, 'Allah is enough as my witness and guarantor.' When it was time to repay, he was across the sea with no ship, so he sealed the money and a letter inside a hollowed piece of wood, prayed and set it on the water. The lender, waiting on the shore, found the wood floating towards him with the money inside.
