A man woke up early in order to pray the Fajrprayer in the masjid.He got dressed, made his aboloution and was onhis way to themasjid.On his way to the masjid, the man fell and hisclothes got dirty.He got up, brushed himself off, and headed home.At home, hechanged his clothes, made his aboloution, andwas, again, on hisway to the masjid.

On his way to the masjid, he fell again and at thesame spot! He,again, got up, brushed himself off and headedhome... At home he,once again,changed his clothes, made his aboloution and wason his way to the masjid.

On his way to the masjid, he met a man holding a lamp. He asked theman of his identity and the man replied "I saw youfall twice onyour way to the masjid, so I brought alamp so I can light yourway." The first man thanked him profusively and the two were ontheir way to the masjid.

Once at the masjid, the first man asked the manwith the lamp tocome in and pray Fajr with him. The second manrefused. The firstman asked him a couple more times and, again,the answer was thesame. The first man asked him why he did notwish to come in andpray.The man replied "I am Satan."The man was shocked at this reply.

Satan went onto explain, "I saw you on your way to the masjid and it was I whomade you fall. When you went home, cleaned yourself and went back onyour way to the masjid, Allah forgave all of your sins. I made youfall a second time,and even that did not encourage you to stay home,but rather,you went back on your way to the masjid.Becauseof that, Allahforgave all the sins of the people of yourhousehold. 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 themasjid safely."So do not let Satan benefit from his actions.Do not put off a good that you intended to do asyou never know how much reward you might receive from the hardships you encounter while trying to achieve that good.
