Selasa Kliwon, 6 Mulud
After Hajj...
"So, did you know how many performed hajj this year?"
"About 600'000 of the Lord's servants."
"How many of those were accepted?"
"None, except one. And - get this - he didn't even make it to Mecca. He actually got stuck in Baghdad, but his graces were equal to all of those 600'000 Hajjis in Mecca."
"Dude, how come?"
"I heard that, when he was about to leave for Mecca, he found his neighbors hungry. So he spent the money and food for Hajj on them. Simple as that. Pretty cool, huh?"
