- Insha Allah

A man was heading for the market with enough money to buy a donkey. On the way, he saw one of his friends.

"Where are you going?" asked the friend.

"I'm going to the market to buy a donkey."

"Say 'Insha Allah' (God willing) before you hope to do anything," advised the friend.

"Come on, no need to say that. My money is right here with me and there are a lot of donkeys in that market," replied the man.

His friend only shrugged and didn't say anything more. The man began walking towards the market. On the way, a thief stole his money bag and he didn't find out until he had reached the market.

All of a sudden, he realized that his money was gone, and he had no choice but to go back home.

On the way he saw his friend again.

"Where are you coming from? What happened?" asked the friend.

"I'm coming from the market, Insha Allah! I was robbed of my money, Insha Allah!"
