Shetan’s Worry

* Shetan’s Worry *

A pious person رحمۃ اللہ تعالٰی علیہ saw Shetan standing in worry by the Masjid door and asked, ‘What’s the matter with you?’ Shetan replied, ‘Look inside.’ When the pious person looked inside he saw a person offering Salah and another person sleeping at the Masjid door. Shetan said, ‘I want to enter the Masjid to distract the person offering Salah by putting evil thoughts in his heart, but the man that is sleeping at the door, he is a fasting person. When he breathes out, his breath prevents me from entering like a flame of fire.'
(Rau]-ul-Faiq, p.  39)
