حکایت شمارهٔ 35

Poet: Saadi

English translation: Rehatsek
یکی را از علمایِ راسخ پرسیدند: چه گویی در نانِ وقف؟
گفت: اگر نان از بهرِ جمعیّتِ خاطر می‌ستاند، حلال است و اگر جمع از بهرِ نان می‌نشیند، حرام.
نان از برایِ کنجِ عبادت گرفته‌اند
صاحبدلان، نه کنجِ عبادت برای نان

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.
