THE STORY OF BARSISA

DREAM DA'WAH NETWORK💎

Presents: The story of Barsisa

In the name of Allah the most beneficent most merciful.
The story I'm about to share tonight is a story that brings tears to my eyes whenever I remember it.
The story is about a man named BARSISA (A true worshipper) of Allah and how he fell into the trap of Shaytaan (The accursed)
Allah the Almighty says in His Glorious Qur'an: {(Their allies deceived them) like Shaitan (Satan), when he says to man: "Disbelieve in Allah." But when (man) disbelieves in Allah, Shaitan (Satan) says: "I am free of you, I fear Allah, the Lord of the `Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!" So the end of both will be that they will be in the Fire, abiding therein. Such is the recompense of the Zalimun (i.e. polytheists, wrongdoers, disbelievers in Allah and in His Oneness)}. (Al-Hashr, 16, 17)

Abdullah bn Mas'ud was reported to have narrated the story and it goes thus:

Once upon a time, there was a man known as Barsisa, he was a sincere and true worshipper (as a monk) and everyone knew he was pious.
In that same community, there are three brothers they had one sister and one day they planned on travelling for the Course of Allah (Jihad)leaving their sister behind.
And they thought to themselves, who else can we tell to look after our sister except Barsisa cos he's so pious and he will be able to look after her, they approach Barsisa and he rejected their offer.
They left then Shaytaan came to Barsisa and said "Why can't you look after a little girl, you are pious but if you leave the girl alone and anything happens to her, Allah will make you responsible for it" Barsisa thought of this and accepted to look after the lady.
This was the first trick of Shaitan.
He kept the lady in a separate room and went away to his place of worship, He will cook for her but the lady had to work from her place to where Barsisa is and pick up the food. Shaitan saw this and he said to Barsisa;
"DON'T you think you're disturbing this lady, she's coming all the way from her own separate room what if on her way coming someone sees her, anything may happen and you will be responsible for it. You're a pious man, just take the food to her in her room"
Barsisa thought of this and he started leaving the food at the lady's doorstep. Meaning that he's getting closer, he will put the food down then knock and before the lady comes out he will disappear (look at the degree of his piousness).
Shaitan saw this and said "Barsisa you're this close to entering her room, don't you think she will be lonely? Just enter and talk to her you are a pious man nothing will happen" Barsisa thought of this and the next time, he entered her room. They began taking , they talked alot and it became wild and this pious servant (Barsisa) ended up commiting Zina with the lady 😥😥😥😥

Subhanallah!! See the trick of shaitaan
The lady became pregnant and gave birth. Barsisa was disturbed and didn't know what to do. Shaitan came to him and said "Barsisa, what do you think the brothers will do to you knowing that you impregnated their sister? Get rid of the child and thy won't know anything about the incident". Barsisa took the child from her mother and he got rid of the child..

See what shaitan pushed him to " Zina then Murder"
Let's continue...
Shaitan came to Barsisa again and said "Barsisa, you've killed a child of an innocent mother, do you think she will keep quiet? You should act fast if you don't want her to reveal your secret" Barsisa asked "what should I do" Shaitan said "it's simple just get rid of the mother too".. Subhanallah. Barsisa went on and got rid of the mother also making it Double murder
The brothers came back from their trip and asked about their sister, Barsisa replied that she died as a result of an illness and he took them to a grave he claimed he buried her in. The brothers accepted their faith and went back home.
Thereupon, Satan visited her four brothers in a dream while they were asleep and said to them: Barsisa committed adultery with your sister, and because she got pregnant, he killed her and buried her in such-and-such location. In the morning, one of them said: "By Allah! Last night I dreamt of something and I do not know whether to relate it to you or just keep it to myself?" They said: Relate it to us. He did so and one of them said: By Allah! I saw the same dream. Another said the same. And the fourth one said the same thing. They agreed on that there must be something serious about that dream.

They all went to Barsisa and asked him about the issue, he narrated how it happened to them and they were so disturbed..

They went to the king and appealed for his help against Barsisa. The king's troops came to arrest him and he was taken away. On the way, Satan came to Barsisa in form of a man(and whispered in his ears): I set you up. No one else can save you from this. Prostrate yourself before me just for once and in return, I will save you from this. Thereupon, Barsisa prostrated himself before Satan. When they presented themselves before the king, Satan said to him: I am free of you! Finally, Barsisa was killed.
Subhanallah!! See how he was deceived by Shaiitan, firstly he committed Zina then he moved on to Murder and He committed the greatest sins of All which is Shirk (associating partner with Allah)
Respectable brothers and Sisters, don't think because you think you are pious, shaitan won't get to you. It happened to Yusuf (alayhi salam) but Allah protected him. Let's seek the help of Allah against Shaitan (The devil, the accursed)
May Allah open our doors, may He grant us Jannah without reckoning and May He forgive our shortcomings.

Wassalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.
