Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "There was a rain of gold locusts upon Sayyiduna Ayyub (peace be upon him). He began to gather them. Allah Almighty revealed to him, 'Have I not given you abundance?' He replied, 'Yes, O my Lord, but I cannot be free of need from Your bounty.'"
