Once Hazrat Abul Durdah RAA stood at the pulpit of Damascus' main mosque and said, "O residents of Damascus! Would you listen to the advice of a caring brother? There have been people before you who accumulated a lot of wealth, who built grand palaces, and who made far fetched plans. Today they are all dead. Their graves are their palaces now, and their far fetched plans were a mirage. The people of Aad used to live nearby you who had filled the country with their men, their wealth, their weapons, and their horses. Is there someone today who would be willing to buy their inheritance from me even for two dirhams?
