And know that man is innate to want and need, so he is innate to asking. If God has provided you with certainty, do not ask anyone but God Almighty in seeking a benefit that will come to you or warding off harm that has befallen you. If someone asks you through God, not by kinship or by anything other than God Almighty, then give him what he asked for in the manner No one knows about this except him in particular, and in such a gift you must make it known to him, because he reconciles in himself what was broken of it when he asked him, so if he does not know that his asking is beneficial, he breaks it, so you must respond to his request with his knowledge, and if you know about his condition without asking him, then for example This is what you do by giving him what he asked for immediately, without him knowing that you gave it to him, for he will undoubtedly be ashamed, especially if he is one of the people of honor and homes and one of those to whom this is not usually proposed.
