Abu Hurayrah Radhiallohu ‘anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallohu alaihi wasallam said: “There was a man in a wide open field, when he heard a voice from a cloud saying: ‘Go and irrigate the orchard of such and such person.’ That cloud moved and poured its water onto a stony ground. A drain then gathered all that water.’ The man followed the water and eventually saw a man standing in an orchard, transferring the water with his spade. So he asked him: ‘O servant of Allah! What is your name?’ The gardener replied by giving a certain name, the same name which the person had heard form the cloud. The gardener asked him ‘O servant of Allah! Why did you ask me my name?’ The man replied: ‘I heard in a cloud from which this water came down, a voice saying: Irrigate the orchard of such and such a person.’ It was your name that I heard. Now what do you do in your orchard?’ The gardener replied: ‘Now that you have said this, [this is what I do]: I look at the produce of this land, I give one third of it in charity, I, and my family eat one third of it, and I re-invest one third into the orchard.’”
