| For the believer, committing a sin is like caging oneself and losing freedom. |
Hazrath Abdullah bin Umar radiyallahu unhu narrates that I heard the following incident from Rasullullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
not only once or twice, rather more than seven times: “Amongst the Bani
Israeel there was a person by the name of Kifl, who was constantly
involved in sin. A woman once approached him and he offered her 60
dinars (gold coins) to allow him to commit adultery with her. She
acceded to his request but as he was to about to approach her she broke
out into tears and began shivering. He asked: “Why are you crying? Did I
coerce you into this?” She replied: “No! There was absolutely no
coercion but this is such a crime that I haven’t ever come close to it
in my entire life. Currently I am going through financial constraints
due to which I accepted your request.” On hearing this he moved away
immediately and then told her: “You can leave and take those 60 dinars
as well. From now onwards Kifl also will not commit any sin.”
Coincidently he passed away that very night. The next morning this statement was divinely inscribed on his door: “Ghafarallahu Lil Kifl” - Allah has forgiven Kifl.
