The story of theft and the good woman
Aà Almighty said, “And whoever fears God, He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect.” This true story is the best evidence of the meaning of this noble verse.
Yesterday, while we were performing the evening prayer in one of the mosques, my car was tried to be stolen by a person, but he did not succeed in that after the intervention of one of the brothers, who was also heading to the mosque to pray.
Here, things seem normal.
The unusual thing is that when I went to the city of Silwan, 14 km away from the city of Nador, this morning to repair what the thief had damaged, and immediately after standing in the industrial district, a young man in his thirties ran to me and urgently asked me to take charge of the task. The price will satisfy me. The important thing is for him to be in charge of repairs, so I hesitated a little and then accepted because I felt that there was something unusual about this young man.
Before starting the repair process, he asked me for 300 dirhams and asked me to accompany him to a nearby alley. So we entered the alley, and there was a group of people gathered in front of a very small house, and a heated discussion between them was trying to persuade a young man.
The young man they are trying to convince is one of the sons of the wealthy in the city and that this small house in their possession is rented by a widow who works in people’s homes who did not perform the duty of rent this month (300 dirhams) and threatened her to throw all her furniture and take it out by force, although she was always committed to performance had it not been for the disease that recently afflicted her son Heavier on her shoulders.
The teacher handed over the amount of 300 dirhams that he took from me and handed it to the young man who owns the house, and the group parted, and that woman thanked the young man for doing the teacher, then we went back to repair the car.
And when the work started, I asked him about his relationship with that woman, and he replied: I have nothing to do with her, but I hear about her that she is chaste and self-made, so I wished to help her and I did not have any dirhams until you came and when she accepted my offer, I decided to give her the wages for this work for the sake of God. Thats all about it.
I was silent for a long time, thinking how God managed this woman in the city of Silwan by a thief in the city of Nador
“And whoever fears God, He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect.”
Thank you, thief, and I bear witness to God that I forgave you in this world and the hereafter.
