At the time of Bani Israel, there was a man in a small
village, called Barsisa He was a true
Christian. He believed in Tawheed and believed Isa (Alayhi As-Salaam) was a
messenger of Allah Taala.
One day three brothers decided to go for Jihad. But they had
a sister and they did not want to leave her alone. So they went looking for
someone to take care of her. The town people suggested to leave her with
Barsisa, because of his piety. So they went to him and asked him, he said,
"I seek refuge from the cursed Devil" and said No, because he was
scared of falling into sin. Then Devil came to Barsisa and he told Barsisa,
"What if they can’t find someone good and leave her with someone bad,
wouldn’t that be your fault?" Now Barsisa did not realise this was Devil whispering
in his heart. Barsisa decided to accept their request and help the woman.
He let her stay in a house opposite the church. He did this
so that it would be easy for him to leave her food outside the church and she
could come get it herself. After
sometime Devil returned. This time he told Barsisa, "Why don’t you leave
the food closer for her, so that people don’t see her moving back and forth
alone!" Barsisa agreed and started leaving the food outside the house. But
Devil wasn’t happy with this either, so sometime later, he returned and ask
Barsisa, "Why don’t you go in and leave it on the table, so that no one
sees her coming out and going in alone all the time!" Again, Barsisa
agreed and he started leaving the food on the table.
Then as time went by, Devil returned and said to him,
"Why don’t you talk to her, she is all alone and has no one to talk to!” Barsisa agreed and started talking to her from
behind a door. But this would lead them to almost shouting to each other to here
themselves. Devil asked Barsisa to just go in and talk to her, and finally, he(Devil) had got the alone in a room. Devil had completed the difficult part. It
wasn’t after Barsisa and the woman committed fornication. She became pregnant.
As soon as the baby was born, Devil returned, and said to Barsisa, "What
have you done? Look at the result of your evil, get rid of the evidence
otherwise the brothers will kill you!" Barsisa killed the baby and buried
it in the same room the woman was in. Devil then told Barsisa, "Do you
think you can kill the child of a woman and expect her not to tell
anyone?!" and So Barsisa killed her and buried her alongside the baby! He
then made a fake grace outside and when her brothers returned, he informed them
that she died of illness. After seeing the grave and make dua for her, they
returned home and accepted Allah’s decree.
Later that night, Devil came to them in their dream and
informed them about what Barsisa had done and where the child and their sister
could be found. The brother got up upset and confused, and informed his
brothers of the dream, and they both said they had the same dream. So they
believed that it must be true, and when dug up the fake grave and found it
empty. Then they dug the place Devil showed them in the dream and found the
child and woman!
Furious, the brothers took Barsisa to the Leader to get his
punishment. Barsisa knew that he would be given the death penalty. Devil came
to Barsisa again, for the final time. This time he revealed himself and told
him he was the one whispering the thoughts to him. And he said that he could
save Barsisa, and as long as Barsisa makes sujood to him! Barsisa, out of
desperation made Sujood to him , this confirmed his disbelief and Devil said to
him "I am free of you, I fear Allah Taala, the Lord of the ‘Alamin!"
and left Barsisa was stonned to death and on the day of judgement he will be
resurrected making Sujood to Devil.
So look how Devil tricked him. He came to him as a friend,
but was in fact his biggest enemy!
Devil will never make you sin directly, he will always trick
you using Waswasah and he is more patient than any of us. So we should always
seek refuge in Allah Taala from Devil. Never think you have enough knowledge or
are strong enough to take on Devil. Devil has a plan in hand it was a step by
step policy that made Barsisa finally breakdown and commit disbelief.
