pious man who constantly looked for knowledge and used to give all his time

THE REWARD OF TRUTH
A pious man who constantly looked for knowledge and used to give all
his time .One day he left home due to his extreme hunger since he had
found nothing to eat at home and so he ended up heading towards
one of the gardens on the roadside.This garden was full of apple trees
and one of which had a few of its branches hanging outside the fence
on the roadside.
His inner... self started whispering to him to eat an apple to remove
his hunger and that no one would see him.After all the apple garden
wouldn't be affected by the absence of only one apple.He plucked an
apple and sat down to eat it until his hunger disappeared.
But when he went back home,his consciousness(al nafs) started
aching him and he started to ask himself how he could do such a
thing (this is always the case of a moment,a believer i.e he always
judges and punishes his soul for the wrongdoings he does).Sitting
down,he started asking himself how he could eat an apple which is of
another Muslim's wealth and possession and yet he never asked his
permission before plucking it.
Neither had he asked the owner for his forgiveness.Getting up the next
morning,he headed outdoor in search of this garden's owner until he
found him.This young man then told him(the owner):
"Uncle,yesterday extreme hunger got great hold of me and I ate an
apple from your garden without you knowing and today I have come to
ask for your permission for having taken it."
The owner replied:
"By Allah I will not forgive you In fact I am angry from you until the
Day of Judgement where i will complain to Allah about you."
A pious man then started crying and pleading to him to forgive him
and that he was ready to do anything for him on condition that he
forgives him and makes him clean of sins again through this
forgiveness.
"Uncle,I am ready to work as a graden worker in this garden of yours
without a salary the whole of my life or any other thing you wish me to
carry out for you on condition that you forgive me."
At this moment, the garden owner stopped to think for a while and
then said:
"Son,I am ready to forgive you now but on one condition...."
A pious man got so happy and his face once again got filled with joy
and he replied :
" Give me any condition you wish ,uncle."
The owner:
"My only condition is that you marry my daughter!!!"
A pious man was shocked from this condition,got stunned and
couldn't understand this condition.
The owner continued:
"But son... you must know that my daughter is blind,deaf and can not
talk.She doesn't walk either and is always sitted.For a long time now, I
have been searching for a husband for her whom i can trust to take
care of her and accept her as she is with all her features which I
mentioned to you.I will forgive you only if you accept to marry her."
A pious man was once again shocked with this second disaster.He
then started thinking how he would be able to live with such a burden
especially that he was still young and on his first steps in his career
life.How could she take care of him and look after his house when she
had such defects?
He then started telling himself:
" Have patience regarding her and at least get saved from the
Hereafter's punishment which this apple would cause you."
He then looked towards the owner and said:
"Uncle, I have accepted your daughter and I ask Allah to reward me
well for my intention and that He rewards me with something better
than what He inflicted me with."
The owner replies:
"Well then son....your date is next Thursday at my place for the
Walimah(celebration)of your marriage and I will be responsible(take
care) of her Mahr(dowry)."
When Thursday came ,A pious man came walking with heavy steps,full
of sorrow,with a broken heart unlike any other groom on his wedding
day.When he knocked on the door, her dad opened the door and let
him in.After they had sat and talked a bit,the bride's dad told A pious
man:
"Please feel free to enter the room where your bride is sitted..and may
Allah place His baraka(blessings) on you both and around you
both.May He bring onto both of you all goodness and mercy .."
He then took him by his hand and led him to the room where his
daughter sat waiting .When he opened the door and looked inside,the
lad found seated a girl whose face was whiter than the moon and
whose hair hang loosely on her shoulders like silk.She then got up and
walked towards him with her shoulders stretched outwards and told
him:
"Assalamu Alaikum my husband."
Standing in his place,A pious man staring at her as if he was in front
of a hooreya(i.e one of the beautiful ladies of Paradise who have
never lived on Earth before)from the hooreyats of Jannah who had
instead come to earth.
He couldn't believe his eyes and just didn't know what had happened
or why her dad had said such bad things about her.She at once
understood what was going through his mind and at once went nearer
to him,held his hand and kissed it saying:
"I am blind from looking towards forbidden(haram) things and I am
deaf from listening to forbidden talk and I am unable to talk about
forbidden things.
My feet too do not walk towards haram things....
I am the only child of my dad and for a couple of years now ,my dad
has been searching for a good pious husband for me.So when you
came to him asking his permission for an apple and weeping for its
sake,he told me:
'Whoever fears from eating an apple for which he hasn't asked
permission for acquiring it,then he will sure look after my daughter
and fear Allah in treating her badly'......so congratulations to me for
having you as a husband and congratulations to my dad for having
you as his son-in-law."
