The third man begged, "O Allah, I used to hire workers and always paid them wages, except for one of them who left and did not tell him where he had gone. Then I decided to invest that person's wages so that they grew into a lot. One day he came to me and said, "Sir, can you give me my wages which I have not received yet?" I said to him, "All that you see, camels, cows, goats and slaves, those are your wages that you have not received before."  He said, "Do not play a joke on me!" I replied, "I'm not kidding!" So that person took all these treasures and did not spare any for me.

O Allah, if I did all of that solely for Your pleasure, then please release us from  this disaster that befell us."  Then the rock that blocked the mouth of the cave shifted and the three of them came out of the cave safely.  (Hadith narrated by Al Bukhari and Moslem)
