Greetings, peace be upon you muslims, the following story below is going through chain emails, i need to know if its authentic or not, if its not we have a lie attributed to ALLAH, if its true then the msg behind it is pretty good.

pls clarify, jazzakallah khayr

A man woke up early in order to pray the Fajr prayer in the masjid.
He got dressed, made his aboloution and was on his way to the
masjid.

On his way to the masjid, the man fell and his clothes got dirty.
He got up, brushed himself off, and headed home. At home, he
changed his clothes, made his aboloution, and was again, on his
way to the masjid.

2nd time, On his way to the masjid, he fell again and at the
same spot! He, again, got up, brushed himself off and headed home.
At home he, once again, changed his clothes, made his aboloution and was on his way to the masjid.

On his way 3rd time to the masjid, he met a man holding a lamp.
He asked the man of his identity and the man replied "I saw you
fall twice on your way to the masjid, so I brought a lamp so I can
light your way." The first man thanked him profusively and the two where on their way to the masjid.

Once at the masjid, the first man asked the man with the lamp
to come in and pray Fajr with him. The second man refused. The first man asked him a couple more times and, again, the answer was the same. The first man asked him why he did not wish to come in and pray.

The man replied "I am Satan."

The man was shocked at this reply. Satan went on to explain, "I
saw you on your way to the masjid and it was I who made you fall. When you went home, cleaned yourself and went back on your way to the masjid, Allah forgave all of your sins. I made you fall a second time, and even that did not encourage you to stay home, but rather, you went back on your way to the masjid. Because of that, Allah forgave all the sins of the people of your household. I was afraid if i made you fall one more time, then Allah will forgive the sins of the people of your village, so i made sure that you reached the masjid safely."

So do not let Satan benefit from his actions.

Do not put off a good deed that you intended to do as you never
know how much reward you might recieve from the hardships you encounter while trying to achieve that good.

submission i dont have a problem with shaytan coming in the form of a man, he did this many times we have it recorded in history, what i am concerned abt is, the part where Allah forgave his entire family when he went home 2 change the second time, basicaly if this story is false it is attributing a lie to Allah, by saying he ta'ala did something (forgave the dudes family) when he didnt

hence why the refrence 2 this story is important for me

it is good story but it is not Important ...

what i maen that any story have no refernce return to one of the prophets ( i mean from Hadith ) or the Quran , it is not an islamic story , and it is not true ( even if it is you can not consider it as a story that related to islam ) ,

in fact bro i do not recommend that we help on publishing this kind of story for 2 resons :

1- it could be a lie ( Mostly it is )
2- islam does not need this kind of stories to be stronger

Surat Al Ma'eda
3..(( .... This day are those who disbelieve in despair of (ever harming) your religion; so fear them not, fear Me! This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favor unto you, and have chosen for you as religion AL- ISLAM. Whoso is forced by hunger, not by will, to sin: (for him) lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. ))

so i recommend for you brothers that if anyone recive an email containd a story like this with no reffrance that he know ( even if it is true ) , do not forwerd it , so you are not helping in forwerding a lie about islam
