Abdullah bin Umar reported,

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "While three men from among those who came before you were walking, rain fell upon them, so they took shelter in a cave. A boulder then sealed the entrance, trapping them inside.They said to one another, 'By Allah, nothing will save you but truthfulness. Let each of you supplicate by some deed in which he knows he was sincere.'One of them said, 'O Allah, You know that I once had a hired worker who worked for me in exchange for a measure of rice. He left without taking it, so I took that measure and planted it. From its yield I eventually bought cattle. Then he came to me seeking his wage, and I told him, 'Go to those cattle and drive them away.' He said to me, 'All I have with you is a measure of rice.' I said, 'Take those cattle, for they came from that measure.' So he drove them off. If You know that I did this out of fear of You, then relieve us.' The boulder shifted away from them somewhat.The next one said, 'O Allah, You know that I had two elderly parents, and every night I would bring them milk from my sheep. One night I was delayed, and when I came, they had already fallen asleep, while my wife and children were crying out from hunger. I would never let them drink before my parents had drunk. I disliked waking my parents, yet I disliked leaving them without their drink, so I kept waiting until dawn broke. If You know that I did this out of fear of You, then relieve us.' The boulder shifted further, until they could see the sky.The third one said, 'O Allah, You know that I had a cousin who was among the dearest of people to me, and I tried to seduce her, but she refused unless I brought her a hundred dinars. I sought after that sum until I was able to gather it, and I brought it to her and handed it over. She allowed me to have my way with her. But when I sat between her legs, she said, 'Fear Allah and do not break the seal except by its rightful means.' So I rose and left the hundred dinars with her. If You know that I did this out of fear of You, then relieve us.'Then Allah relieved them, and they came out."

حدثنا إسماعيل بن خليل أخبرنا علي بن مسهر عن عبيد الله بن عمر عن نافع

عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما

أن رسول الله ﷺ قال بينما ثلاثة نفر ممن كان قبلكم يمشون إذ أصابهم مطر فأووا إلى غار فانطبق عليهم فقال بعضهم لبعض إنه والله يا هؤلاء لا ينجيكم إلا الصدق فليدع كل رجل منكم بما يعلم أنه قد صدق فيه فقال واحد منهم اللهم إن كنت تعلم أنه كان لي أجير عمل لي على فرق من أرز فذهب وتركه وأني عمدت إلى ذلك الفرق فزرعته فصار من أمره أني اشتريت منه بقرا وأنه أتاني يطلب أجره فقلت له اعمد إلى تلك البقر فسقها فقال لي إنما لي عندك فرق من أرز فقلت له اعمد إلى تلك البقر فإنها من ذلك الفرق فساقها فإن كنت تعلم أني فعلت ذلك من خشيتك ففرج عنا فانساحت عنهم الصخرة فقال الآخر اللهم إن كنت تعلم أنه كان لي أبوان شيخان كبيران فكنت آتيهما كل ليلة بلبن غنم لي فأبطأت عليهما ليلة فجئت وقد رقدا وأهلي وعيالي يتضاغون من الجوع فكنت لا أسقيهم حتى يشرب أبواي فكرهت أن أوقظهما وكرهت أن أدعهما فيستكنا لشربتهما فلم أزل أنتظر حتى طلع الفجر فإن كنت تعلم أني فعلت ذلك من خشيتك ففرج عنا فانساحت عنهم الصخرة حتى نظروا إلى السماء فقال الآخر اللهم إن كنت تعلم أنه كان لي ابنة عم من أحب الناس إلي وأني راودتها عن نفسها فأبت إلا أن آتيها بمائة دينار فطلبتها حتى قدرت فأتيتها بها فدفعتها إليها فأمكنتني من نفسها فلما قعدت بين رجليها فقالت اتق الله ولا تفض الخاتم إلا بحقه فقمت وتركت المائة دينار فإن كنت تعلم أني فعلت ذلك من خشيتك ففرج عنا ففرج الله عنهم فخرجوا
