Story 36
 
 
  One of the ulemma of solid learning, having been asked for his
opinion about waqfbread, answered: 'If it be accepted to insure
tranquillity of mind from cares for food and to obtain leisure for
devotion, it is lawful but if it be taken for maintenance it is
forbidden.'
 
 
        Bread is taken for the corner of devotion
        By pious men and not the corner of devotion for bread.
