It is narrated about Hazrat Masruq that when he returned from the place of Silsilah, the people of Kufa came to him, and traders also came to him and began to praise him and said, "May Allah give you the best reward. How self-sufficient you were from our wealth." Upon this, he recited this verse: { أَفَمَنْ وَعَدْنَاہُ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا فَہُوَ لاَقِیہِ کَمَنْ مَتَّعْنَاہُ مَتَاعَ الْحَیَاۃِ الدُّنْیَا }. "Can the one to whom We have made a good promise and he attains it be like the one whom We have given the enjoyments of the life of this world?"
