Fudhail, a Night-Stalking Thief, Executes His Actions with Determination. In the Silent Darkness, He Sneaks towards a Sheep Pen. His Intention: Stealing a Sheep Belonging to a Wealthy Merchant.
With Cunning, Fudhail draws his sharply honed knife. Swiftly, he grabs one of the sheep nearby and skillfully slaughters it. The sheep immediately falls lifeless, before it even has a chance to make a sound. However, this sudden act agitates the other sheep, creating a commotion. One by one, the panicked sheep start bleating.
Quickly, Fudhail hoists the lifeless sheep and they both flee as fast as they can. Despite the weight of the sheep on his shoulders, Fudhail cannot afford to stop. He realizes that his life would be at stake if he gets caught.
Finally, after evading pursuit and danger, Fudhail manages to return home safely. Without wasting time, Fudhail immediately skins the sheep and cuts its meat into pieces. In his mind, he plans to sell the sheep's meat the next morning. However, he also realizes that he cannot continue with these petty thefts forever.
------
Years pass, and Fudhail drifts further away from the path of righteousness. He becomes not only a thief but also a robber and a killer. He no longer fears the laws of men. As long as he eludes capture, he feels safe. Such thoughts continue to dominate Fudhail's mind and heart.
Amidst his descent into darkness, those closest to Fudhail frequently attempt to persuade him to return to the right path and abandon his criminal activities. However, Fudhail never listens to such advice. He feels no fear towards anyone, not even towards the God worshipped by those around him.
One day, a sensational news reaches Fudhail's ears. A wealthy merchant has just moved to their town. The merchant's house is grand and filled with valuable possessions. Rumor has it that he is a highly successful jewelry trader.
Fudhail sees this as an unmissable golden opportunity. He immediately devises a plan to rob the luxurious house. After thorough preparations, Fudhail embarks on his journey towards the target location. With ease, he scales the wall's gate and leaps onto the second floor by hanging onto a pipe.
To his astonishment, Fudhail realizes that the second-floor balcony is guarded by a watchman. He observes the guard meticulously patrolling and vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
"But I've already come this far; it's impossible to retreat now," mutters Fudhail, attempting to uphold his courage. With agile and stealthy movements, Fudhail successfully bypass the guard.
"Ah, it seems I have gone too far. Is the guard dead?" whispers Fudhail to himself. Although he has been involved in previous killings, he now feels uneasy due to the lack of careful planning in this impromptu act.
Fudhail proceeds towards the window, intending to enter the house. However, his steps halt upon hearing a melodious voice filling the air.
--------
Fudhail sighs deeply with profound disappointment. He never expected his plan to unravel like this. Enraptured, he starts to recognize what the owner of the house is reciting. Yet, it is not a mere song but the recitation of the Quran.
Fudhail has heard this recitation before, but this time, a miracle occurs. The voice is enchanting and fluent. It permeates Fudhail's heart with unparalleled tenderness. He experiences a sacred vibration he has never felt before. Truly, Fudhail's heart softens and captivates him with the beauty of that voice. He cannot linger there any longer and promptly departs from the premises.
Walking along a quiet street, Fudhail stops at a ruin. He hides among the debris, unable to contain his tears. "Oh my Lord, my Master. I sincerely pray, I sincerely pray. I have neglected You for so long. Will You forgive me if I repent now?" exclaims Fudhail with a hopeful voice.
After that moment, Fudhail goes to the city of Kufah to learn about religion from the eminent scholars there. Fudhail diligently acquires knowledge about Islam in a short period. Eventually, with the blessings of Allah, he becomes one of the great scholars who deeply delve into the science of Hadith."
