Until when he was like a groom, those of his faction gained control over him." It was then said to him, "If it were said to you, 'Bring a handful of sun' or 'Measure of wind' or 'Bring back tomorrow' or 'Do you know how many doors the sky has?' or 'How many treasures does Allah have?' or 'How many springs are in the sea?' or 'The sea came to argue with you, what would it say to you?' The sea said to you, 'My waves are abundant and my springs are abundant, and I wanted to lean towards the land.'" The land said to you, 'My trees are abundant and my mountains are abundant, and my animals are abundant, and my rivers are abundant. I wanted to lean towards the sea.' Which of the two would you judge for?"
