One morning, a fisherman went out of his house to earn a living.  He threw his net into the sea but he did not find any fish.  So the fisherman prayed wholeheartedly to Allah.  His children were moaning from hunger at home.  While the sun was about to set, Allah endowed him with a very large fish.  The fisherman thanked Allah and brought the fish home with joy.
