- And I consider this example as an introduction of the reply:
If a teacher said to his students: for the hard-working pupil from you I will give half, the average third and the lazy a quarter and if something more remained give it to the poor. . And then said: according to me justice is the basis and this is my reward in every year for the pupils asking for knowledge.. It happened in that year to have one hardworking and two lazy pupils in his course..
They came to the special cashier table and they found that their teacher had prepared the amount of money and it was 12 thousand dirhams.. the hardworking pupil took 6 thousand, and each one of the two lazy pupils took 3 thousand and everyone found his own way to go thanking Allah and praying for the teacher. The next year an average pupil had joined the course..
At the moment of distributing the amount of money they came to the special cashier table to claim the money they found the teacher has put 32 thousand dirhams
The average pupil said:
Two lazy pupil = 1/2
Average pupil = 1/3
Hardworking pupil =1 / 2
And the total is = 3 / 4 = 1.3333 !
Here one of the two stupid pupils said: then the teacher made a mistake! The average pupil said to him: No, you stupid!.. Do you think that the teacher did not know there are conditions in which the total of the shares would add up and be more than the available amount?
Rather than this he put a general law and stated that justice is the basis..
The average pupil turned his head to his brother the hard working pupil saying: what we have to do?
The hard working pupil said: we have a general basis + justice law which protects the basis. So let’s apply it together..
The average pupil : How?
The hardworking student: 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/2 ...
The total of the shares add up exceeds and they acted according to the ( justice basis) that he stated.
When the common denominator is 12..
The portion of the first lazy pupil = 4/12 = 3 shares
The portion of the second lazy pupil like the first lazy one is 3 shares
The portion of the average pupil = 3/12 = 4 shares
The portion of the hard working pupil = 2/12 = 6 shares
The sum = 3+3+4+6=16
And because our dear teacher left 32 thousand, so each share worth = 16/32 = 2 (two thousand)
hence the distribution of the money according to his instructions is like the following:
Each one of the two lazy pupils has 3 shares, so the portion for each one = 6 thousand dirhams.. and both together = 12 thousand
And for you average pupil fellow there are 4 shares and your portion = 8 thousand
And for me the hardworking student 6 shares and my portion according to the teacher’s speech = 12
The sum is 32 thousand… thanks to Allah
Here the average pupil said to the lazy pupil: are you still insistent that the teacher is wrong?
