Mohsin did not beat the thief. He patiently listened to what he said. "Why do you steal?" Mohsin asked the thief. "Don't you know that stealing is a great sin?". "Sir, I know it." the thief said weeping, "But I can't but steal. My children have been going on without food for days together." At his entreaty Mohsin was moved to pity and said, "I'll set you free and I'll give you money too but on one condition." What's the condition?" the thief asked Mohsin very quickly. "Please tell me it. I'll do whatever you ask me to do." "Better die of starvation than steal." said Mohsin to the thief. "It is an evil way of life. You must give il up. You must promise me that you will never steal in future but live an honest life. Then I'll set you free and give money to start a shop. If you work honestly, you can earn money to buy food for you and the members of your family." The thief was struck with wonder and said, "O, noble sir, I've no words to express my gratitude. May Allah bless you." pisy Taking the money the thief went home and started a shop. He became an honest business man. From that day he give up stealing.
