He sprang from his sleep to behold the blind man reading from the Qur’an. "O you with no eyes, how can you see those lines?" The blind man replied, "I begged my Lord, crying, 'O You who help those who seek, restore my sight that I may read the Book of Life.' My Lord replied, 'O man of devotion, whose hope am I, when you want to read this Book of Mine, you shall have sight at that time.' So the King restored my eyes, like a lamp till the end of the night."

- Rumi, "Mathnawi"
