One day Khalifah Ali(radiAllahu 'Anhu) was carefully recording all the money that came into the treasury and all that was spent from it, by the light of a candle.
At that time, Talha(radiAllahu 'Anhu) and Jubair(radiAllahu 'Anhu) came to him for personal reasons.
When they sat down, Ali(radiAllahu 'Anhu) lit another candle and put out the first candle.
The guest exchanged a glance of surprise and then one of them asked;
“O’ Ali! We have come on some important business. But why did you put out the first candle and lit another one?”
“That was a candle bought with Treasury funds. As long as I worked for treasury, I used it. Now you have come for some personal work, so I use the candle bought from my personal fund.” Replied the Khalifah
Moral: One should not use office money, funds, equipment and facilities for personal and private use. Its an amanat (trust)
