Once the Muslim caliph Haroon-ur-Rasheed was walking through the seaside along with his wife and he saw the saint called Bullail on the beach doing something there.
He asked him Bullail what are you doing here?
I am making a houses of sand and will sell it for one Deenar (Arab Currency) each, he replied.
The caliph starts smiling and says who do you thing will buy this house from you?
The one who will buy it from me, I will pray that God give him the house in heaven, Bullail replied. The caliph smiles and walked away but his wife gives Bullail one Deenar and says "Pray for me that I will get the house in heaven and he prayed.
It was a normal thing that happens to caliph so he didn't thought so much on it and went to his home and follow his normal routine. At night, when he was sleeping, he saw in his dream that he was visiting the heaven, he was enjoying the beauty of heaven and suddenly he saw the beautiful houses in heaven and went closer to visit there. On the top of one house it was the name of his wife written, so he tried to get in but was stopped by gatekeeper.
Gatekeeper says where are you going?
It is the house of my wife let me go inside, the caliph replied.
It maybe the house of your wife but you are not allowed in, gatekeeper said.
In the middle of this argument the caliph waked up and realized that Bullail was right so he went early morning in the search of Bullail and found him at the same place, building the house.
Caliph says: "Bullail give me a house for one Deenar"
Bullail: who said it is of one Deenar?
Caliph; You gave it to my wife yesterday.
Bullail: It was yesterday, when your wife doesn't saw it, now you saw it so the prize isn't same now.
Caliph: How much it worth now?
Bullail: If you give me the whole wealth of the world now, you still wont get it now, so go away the deal is closed.
