Peace, wealth and harmony

Once we were in our class studying about Imam Malik and his student Imam Shafi. Imam shafi had left the house to study Hadees from Imam Malik. Imam Malik was a poor man but he served Imam Shafi very well during his stay at his place for 3 years. Imam Shafi then went to Iraq to gain more ilm about Ahadees. Being in Iraq he heard that Imam Malik has become a rich person. Imam Shafi thought to go back to Imam Malik and see his behavior as a rich man, because he had been with him in the worst of times and Imam Malik had been very humble and curtious.

I untentionally looked towards my friend and she in a very serious voice said ' He must have died ?'
( she meant only death could bring such wealth and peace)

And then our Mam told us that Imam Malik had started teaching Ilm-e-Hadees in the Masjid-Nabvi and rich people used to give him money as an honour. :)

You see my friend is inncoent :p hahahaha
