Ibn Sīrīn once lost his entire wealth.
People said to him: "Your loss is tremendous."
He replied: "This is a punishment for a sin whose consequence I've been expecting for the past forty years."
They asked: "And what was that sin?"
He said: "I once shamed a man because of his poverty."
(Al-Dhahabī in Siyar Aʿlām al-Nubalāʾ, biography of Muhammad ibn Sīrīn)
✉️🇦🇷 Leo Messi’s letter.
“The pain is immense, it will take time for this wound to heal.
But I also choose to hold on to all the good things, all matches we turned around by giving everything and moments that will remain in our memories forever.
I will always remember the support of an entire country that, together with the work and effort of this group, brought us back once again among the best teams in the world.
Today, it is difficult to appreciate what we achieved… but this group has really reached two consecutive World Cup finals.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every greeting and every message.
Once again, we managed to come together as a country and stand united, sharing the immense pride of being Argentine.
I also want to congratulate Spain on winning World Cup”. 🇪🇸
I received an inheritance of almost ₦35 million in cash from my late father. My husband knew about the entire process, so when the money came, he sat me down and asked what I planned to do with it.
I told him I wanted to buy land, buy a car, register for my master's degree, and invest the rest in my business.
He could've been a world champion tonight.
He deserved to be a world champion tonight.
He deserved to stand there with this team, not as a passenger, but as one of the key players in the team.
Football can be so unfair sometimes...
