The reward of an honest girl Story

The Greatness of Haji Mohammad Mohsin

One night Haji Mohammad Mohsin was saying his prayer in his dark room. It was midnight. The room was quite silent. Mohsin was in deep meditiation of Allah. At that time a thief broke into his room. He caught hold of the thief. The thief got nervous and began to tremble with fear. He thought that Mohsin would beat him to death or hand over him to the police for imprisonment. He fell at the feet of Mohsin and begged him for mercy with tears in his eyes. He entreated Mohsin again and again to set him free.

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.
