`alayhi wa sallam said:
"Three persons of a people before you, were on a journey when they
were overtaken by a storm and therefore theytook shelter in a cave. A
rock slipped down from the mountain and blocked the exit from cave.
One of them said: "The only way for deliverance left is to beseech
Allah in the name of some virtuous deed." Thereupon one of them
supplicated, "O Lord, my parents were very old, I used to offer them
their nightly drink of milk before my children and the other members
of thefamily. One day I went astray far away in search of green trees
and could return only after my parent had gone to sleep. When I had
milked the animals and brought their nightly drink to them, They were
fast asleep, but I did not like to disturb them, nor would give any
part of the milk to my children and other members of the family till
after my parents had their drink. Thus, with the vessel in hand, I
awaited their awakening till the flush of dawn, While the children
cried out of hunger at my feet. When they woke up, they had their
drink. O Lord, if I did this thing seeking only your pleasure, then do
relieve us of the distress wrought upon usby this rock." Thereupon,The
rock moved a little but that not enough to let them pass out.
Then the second man supplicated: "O Lord, I had a cousin whom I loved
her more passionately than any loves a woman. I tried to seduce her
but she would have none of me, till in a season of great hardship due
to famine, she approached me (for help) and I gave her one hundred and
twenty Dinars on condition that she would have sexual intercourse with
me. She agreed, and when we got together and I was just going to have
intercourse with her, she pleaded: 'Fear Allah, and do not break the
seal unlawfully'; whereupon Imoved away from her, despite the fact
that I desired her most passionately; and I let herkeep the money I
had given her. O Lord, if I did this thing seeking only your pleasure,
then do move the distress in which we find ourselves." Again the rock
moved a little but not enough to let them pass out.
Then the third supplicated: "O Lord, I hired some laborers and paid
them their dues, butone of them left leaving behind what was due to
him. I invested it in business and the business prospered greatly."
After a time the laborer came Back and said: 'O servant of Allah, hand
over to me my wages.' I said to him: 'All that you see is yours –
camels, cattle, goats and slaves.' He said: 'Don't play joke with me,
O servant of Allah.' I assured him: 'I am mot joking.' So he took all
of it sparing nothing. O Lord, If I did this seeking only for your
pleasure, do relieve us of our distress."
The rock then moved away, and all the three came out of the cave safeand sound.
