At midnight, Haji Mohammad Mohsin was saying prayer in his room. The room was quite silent. Mohsin was in deep meditation of Allah. At that time a thief broke into his room. He instantly caught hold of the thief. The thief became nervous and began to tremble with fear. He thought to himself that Mohsin would beat him to death or hand over him to the police. He fell at the feet of Mohsin and begged him for mercy. But Mohsin did not beat the thief. He patiently asked him (t) why he was stealing. The thief replied that poverty forced him to do so. He also said that he could hardly manage any food for his children for days together. Mohsin felt sympathetic to the thief's cause, gave him some money and advised him to start a shop so that he could earn honestly and maintain his family. He took the money and started a shop. From that day, the thief stopped stealing and started an honest life.
