Description:Suleyman tells us about one of his relatives who came acoss a treassure when he was grazing his flock. He took the treasure home, but at night he had a dream and a man in his dream told him to return the treasure. He ignored his dream. However, on the following night he had another dream and the same man told him that he would harm him unless he returned the treasure. Again, he ignored his dream. On the third day, he had a similar dream, this time the man offered him to share the treasure with him if he returned it. He returned the treasure, and he could not access it again. Eventually this man died.
