من سن في الإ سلام سنة حسنة فله أجرها و أجر من عمل بها بعده من غير ان ينقص من أجورهم شيء، ومن سن في الإسلام سنة سيئة كان عليه وزرها و وزر من عمل بها من بعده من غير أن ينقص من أو زار هم شيئا ـ رواه مسلم

Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) said:“He who inaugurates a good sunna (custom or ways, examplar) in Islam earns the reward of it and (the rewards) of all who perform it after him without diminishing their own rewards in the slightest; and he who introduces a bad sunna (custom or ways, examplar) is guilty of the sin of it and (the sins) of all who perform it after him without diminishing their own sins in the slightest.”

Imam Ali ibn Abi Taleb's ( كرّم الله وجْهه ) Mathematical Brilliance : "Dividing 17 Camels"



A person was about to die, and before dying he wrote his Will ("wasiyah") which went as follows:

========================================


"I have 17 Camels, and I have three sons.


Divide my Camels in such a way that my eldest son gets half of them, the second one gets 1/3rd of the total and my youngest son gets 1/9th of the total number of Camels."



========================================



After his death when the relatives read his will they got extremely perplexed and said to each other that how can we divide 17 camels like this.

So after a long hard thought they decided that there was only one man in Arabia who could help them: "Imam 'Ali ibn Abi Taleb ( كرّم الله وجْهه )." the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet ( صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلّم )

So they all came to the door of Imam 'Ali ibn Abi Taleb ( كرّم الله وجْهه ) and put forward their problem.

Imam 'Ali ibn Abi Taleb ( كرّم الله وجْهه ) said, "Ok, I will divide the camels as per the man's will."

Imam 'Ali ibn Abi Taleb ( كرّم الله وجْهه ) said, "I will lend one of my camels to the total which makes it 18 (17+1=18), now lets divide as per his will."



The eldest son gets 1/2 of 18 = 9

The second one gets 1/3 of 18 = 6

The youngest gets 1/9 of 18 = 2

Now the total number of camels = 17 (9+6+2=17)

Then Imam 'Ali ibn Abi Taleb ( كرّم الله وجْهه ) said, "Now I will take my Camel back."

SubHaanAllah!
