The polish expat customer, Kajetan Hubner, had mistakenly paid 17,050 AED instead of the intended 1,750 AED due to confusion over the currency notes.

After realizing the error, Kajetan initially thought he had lost the money while searching his hotel room for two hours. However, the next day, he received a message from Muhammad, who informed him about the overpayment and arranged to return the excess amount.

Muhammad, upon counting the cash at the end of his shift, was equally surprised by the large sum.

Following advice from his mother, he promptly contacted Kajetan to confirm the mistake. The delivery rider deposited the correct amount to his company and returned the excess to Kajetan the following day.

Impressed by Muhammad’s integrity, Kajetan offered him a tip of 300 AED, which Muhammad initially refused, stating that his true reward was with Allah.
