A man woke up early in order to pray the Fajr prayer in the masjid. He>got dressed, made his ablution and was on his way to the masjid.>>On his way to the masjid, the man fell and his clothes got dirty. He got>up, brushed himself off, and headed home. At home, he changed his>clothes, made his ablution, and was, again, on his way to the masjid. On>his way to the masjid, he fell again and at the same spot! He, again,>got up, brushed himself off and headed home. At home he, once again,>changed his clothes, made his ablution and was on his way to the>masjid.>>On his way to the masjid, he met a man holding a lamp. He asked the man>of his identity and the man replied "I saw you fall twice on your way to>the masjid, so I brought a lamp so I can light your way.">>The first man thanked him profusively and the two where on their way to the >masjid.>>Once at the masjid (Mosque), the first man asked the man with the lamp to >come in>>and pray Fajr with him. The second man refused. The first man asked him>a couple more times and, again, the answer was the same.>The>first man>asked him why he did not wish to come in and pray.>The man replied "I am Satan".>>The man was shocked at this reply. Satan went on to explain, "I saw you on >your way to the masjid and it was I who made you fall.>>When you went home, cleaned>yourself and went back on your way to the masjid, Allah forgave all of your >sins.>>I made you fall a second time, and even that did not encourage you to stay >home, but rather, you went back on your way to the masjid. Because of that, >Allah forgave all the sins>of the people of your household. I was afraid if I made you fall one more >time, then Allah will forgive the sins of the people of your Village, so I >made sure that you>reached the masjid (Mosque) safely.">>So do not let Satan benefit from his actions. Do not put off a good that >you intended to do as you never know how much reward you might receive from >the hardships you encounter while trying to achieve that good
