[Machine] Abu Huraira was once traveling when a man and his wife, who were his neighbors and unable to provide for themselves, were in a state of extreme hunger. The man returned from his journey and entered his home, hungry and exhausted. He asked his wife if there was anything to eat, and she replied that Allah had provided them with sustenance. He insisted that she seek out any food they may have, and she said they only had a small amount of dough that they hoped to bake into bread with the mercy of Allah. He urged her to bring him the dough if she had it, as he was very hungry and had exerted himself. She said that the oven needed more time to heat up, and he should not rush her. After he remained silent for an hour and she also sensed that he was about to ask her again, she said to herself, "If I rise and check on the oven, I will find it full of grain sacks and the millstones grinding." So she went to the mill and found it as she had expected, with the oven full of grain and the millstones grinding. Abu Huraira said, "By the one in whose hand is the soul of Abu Al-Qasim, if she had taken what was in her oven without checking it, she would have been grinding grain until the Day of Resurrection."
