The People of the Garden

A good man had a garden full of fruit, and he always gave a good share of every harvest to the poor. After he died, his children greedily planned to harvest everything early in the morning so that no poor person could come near. That night Allah destroyed the garden, and when they found it black and empty, they blamed themselves, repented and promised to be more grateful.
