Examples

“در خبر است که عیسی (ع) پیری را دید بیل در دست و کار می کرد. گفت، «بارخدایا! امل از دل وی بیرون کن». بیل از دست وی بیفتاد و بخفت. چون ساعتی بود گفت، «بارخدایا! امل با وی ده». پیر برخاست و در کار ایستاد. عیسی از وی بپرسید که این چه بود؟ گفت، «در دل من آمد که چرا کار می کنی؟ پیر شدهای، زود بمیری». بیل بنهادم. پس دیگر بار در دل من آمد که لابد تو را نان باید تا بمیری، باز برخاستم.”

It is reported that Jesus (peace be upon him) saw an old man who was working with a shovel in his hand. He said, "Lord God! Take desire away from his heart." The shovel fell from his hand, and he slept. When some time had passed, he said, "Lord God! Grant him desire." The old man woke up and stood up to do work. Jesus asked him, "What happened?" He said, "The thought came to my heart: 'What am I working for? You have become old, you will die soon.' I put down my shovel. Then a later time, the thought came to my heart: 'You need food until you die.' I stood up again."
