Abu Huraira reported: While a person was in the wilderness he heard a voice from the cloud commanding it thus : Irrigate the garden of so and so. After that the clouds slinked Aasi de and poured water on a stony ground. It filled a channel amongst the channels of that land and that person followed that water and he found a person standing in the garden busy in changing the course of water with the help of a hatchet. He said to him: Servant of Allah; what is your name? he said: So and so. And it was that very name which he had heard from the clouds. and he said to him: Servant of Allah; why do you ask me my name? He said: I heard a voice from the clouds of which is the downpour; saying: Water the garden of so and so; like your name. What do you do for the favour shown to you by Allah in this matter? He said: Now as you state so. I look what yield I get from it; and I give one-third as charity out of it and I and my children eat one-third of it and one-third I return to it as investment.
