When the three brothers returned from their journey, the worshipper pretended to sympathise with them, ‘Your sister has died; come and recite Fatihah by her grave.’ He lied to them and showed them a grave in the cemetery telling them that it was their deceased sister’s grave. The grieving brothers recited Fatihah and left the cemetery. At night, Satan appeared in dreams of each of the brothers as a traveller and informed them about the worshipper’s ill deeds, he even pointed out where the bodies were buried. When all three brothers awoke, they told their dreams to each other.

They came to the place that was identified to them in their dreams and when they dug it up, they discovered the murdered bodies of their sister and her baby. The three brothers captured the worshipper. He confessed to his sins. The brothers lodged a complaint in the court of the king. The worshipper was dragged out of his worship-place and sentenced to be hanged. When he was brought to the prison, Satan appeared and said, ‘Do you recognise me! I am the Satan who caused you to fall into the temptation of a woman and led you to this final stage of humiliation, but do not worry I can save you, just do as I say.’ The worshipper was prepared to do anything to save his life. ‘I will do anything you say’, he said. Satan instructed, ‘Deny Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) and become an unbeliever.’ The unfortunate worshipper replied, ‘I deny Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) and become a non-unbeliever.’ Satan instantly disappeared and the unfortunate worshipper was executed. (Summarised from: Tilbees-e-Iblees, pp. 38-40)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Having narrated this parable, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه giving the mind-set of staying away from the Fitnah (temptation) of woman has said that the most dangerous weapon of Satan to destroy men, is ‘woman’. That unfortunate worshipper agreed to look after the young girl and was then stimulated by Satan to take food to her door, by giving Satan a little opportunity, Satan overpowered him, resulting in him denying Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and dying a humiliating death.
