6) Miracles Of The Saints
Ibrahim Ibn Adham (رحمه الله)
3) One day a person inquired of Ibrahim (رحمه الله) what he gained by leaving the kingdom of Balkh. Ibrahim (رحمه الله) at the time was seated by the bank of a river. He threw his needle in to the water and commanded the fish to bring it to him. Thousands of fish came back to him with gold needles; however Ibrahim (رحمه الله) said that he wanted his own. In response to this a small fish brought the one that belonged to Ibrahim (رحمه الله). Thereupon Ibrahim (رحمه الله) told the man, "This is the smallest grade that has been conferred upon me as a result of my renouncing the kingdom of Balkh." [Tadhkiratul Auliya]
