Kisah Sufi
Rabia and the Blanket
A friend gave Rabia four coins so she could buy a blanket. “This winter is very cold,” she said to Rabia. “You need a blanket!” So Rabia took the money and went to the market where she found a vendor selling blankets. “Which blanket do you want?” the vendor asked her. “Perhaps this white blanket? Or this black one?” Without a word, Rabia left the market and walked to the river. “Even before I burden myself with the blanket, I’m burdened with choosing a color. I want no such discord!” she said, and she threw the coins into the river.
