One man came to the city and heard that there were thefts here every day - someone would be robbed! The man got scared and ordered his servant to stay awake and watch his horse.

- Okay, master! – the servant agreed.

The owner fell asleep and slept for an hour. Then he opens his eyes and asks the servant:

-Are you awake?

- No, master.

– What are you thinking about?

“Yes, I keep thinking about how Almighty Allah placed the earth on water, but it doesn’t sink!”

- Be careful not to miss my horse.

- Don't worry, master, sleep!

The owner fell asleep again. Woke up at midnight and asked:

- Hey, are you awake?

- No, master.

- Do you think that's it?

- I think so, master.

-What are you thinking about?

- Yes, I keep thinking about how Allah covered the earth with the sky, but didn’t put up pillars!..

The owner fell asleep again. He woke up in the morning, smiled and asked:

- Well, what are you thinking about now?

- Yes, your horse was stolen, so I’m thinking, which of us will carry the saddle?!
