Abu Bakr had a slave who used to give him some of his earnings. Abu Bakr used to eat from it. One
day he brought something and Abu Bakr ate from it. The slave said to him, “Do you know what this
is?” Abu Bakr then enquired, “What is it?” The slave said, “Once, in the pre-Islamic period of ignor –
ance I foretold somebody’s future though I did not know this knowledge of foretelling but I, cheated
him, and when he met me, he gave me something for that service, and that is what you have eaten
from.” Then Abu Bakr put his hand in his mouth and vomited whatever was present in his stomach.
