Book 36, Number 6607:
|
'Abdullah b. 'Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said: Three persons set out on a journey. They were
overtaken by rain and they had to find protection in a mountain cave where
at its mouth there fell a rock of that mountain and thus blocked them
altogether. One of them said to the others: Look to your good deeds that you
performed for the sake of Allah and then supplicate Allah, the Exalted, that
He might rescue you (from this trouble). One of them said: 0 Allah, I had my
parents who were old and my wife and my small children also. I tended the
flock and when I came back to them in the evening, I milked them (the sheep,
goats, cows, etc.) and first served that milk to my parents. One day I was
obliged to go out to a distant place in search of fodder and I could not
come back before evening and found them (the parents) asleep. I milked the
animals as I used to milk and brought milk to them and stood by their heads
avoiding to disturb them from sleep and I did not deem it advisable to serve
milk to my children before serving them. My children wept near my feet. I
remained there in that very state and my parents too until it was morning.
And (0 Allah) if Thou art aware that I did this in order to seek Thine
pleasure, grant us riddance from this trouble. (The rock slipped a bit) that
they could see the sky. The second one said: 0 Allah, I had a female cousin
whom I loved more than the men love the women. I wanted to have sexual
intercourse with her; she refused but on the condition of getting one
hundred dinirs. It was with very great difficulty that I could collect one
hundred dinirs and then paid them to her and when I was going to have a
sexual intercourse with her, that she said: Servant of Allah, fear Allah and
do not break the seal (of chastity) but by lawful means. I got up. 0 Allah,
if Thou art aware that I did this in order to seek Thine pleasure, rid us
from this trouble. The situation was somewhat eased for them. The third one
said : Allah, I employed a workman for a measure of rice. After he had
finished his work I gave him his dues (in the form of) a measure of rice,
but he did not accept them. I used these rice as seeds ,and that gave a
bumper crop and I became rich enough to have cows and flocks (in my
possession). He came to me and said: Fear Allah, and commit no crueltv upon
me in regard to my dues. I said to him : Takeaway this flock of cows and
sheep. He said: Fear Allah and do not make a fun of me. I said: I am not
making a fun of you. You take the cows and the flocks. So he took them. 0
Allah, if Thou art aware that I did it for Thine pleasure, case the
situation for us. And Allah relieved them from the rest of the trouble.

amongst them said: 0 Allah, I had my aged parents and I served them milk
before I (served that) to my wife, children and my servants." And in case of
the second one, the words are: "She avoided me until she was hard pressed
because of famine and she came to me and I gave her one hundred and twenty
diiiirs " And in cease of the third one (the words are) : "I invested his
wages, and it brought profit and, as a result thereof, the merchandise
increased and there was abundance of goods." And he (the narrator said) that
they got out of the cave and began to walk.
