A Coin in Each Hand
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Shaykha Rabi‘ah al-‘Adawiyyah al-Qaysiyyah al-Baswri (q.s.) wrote:
“I spun
some yarn to sell for food,
And
sold it for two silver coins.
I put
a coin in each hand,
Because
I was afraid,
That if I put both together in one hand,
This great pile of wealth might hold me back.”
