One day, he was passing through a street with great pomp and show when he noticed a scavenger removing putrid stuff from a pit. Avicenna heard him murmuring to himself a couplet meaning that he honored his 'self' for finding his world easy. Avicenna laughed to hear a man who was doing the lowest task so contently.
Halikadhalika, Mwenye Nguvu zote, Ambaye ni Msikivu na Anayeona vyote, bila shaka hujibu sala ya mtumwa Wake, na hugeuza hudhuni ya upweke wake ikawa furaha ya kuwa na Yeye. Lakini jibu lake halitegemei matakwa ya mwanadamu yeyote, bali hutegemea Hekima ya Kiungu. Kufuatana na Hekima Yake, Atatoa kinachoombwa au kilicho bora zaidi au hatotoa chochote kabisa.
