Persistance

Once there was a man who woke up very early to go to Fajr prayer. He got dressed and started walking to the masjid when he triped and fell and got himself dirty. Then he went home to change his dirty clothes and wear fresh ones to pray. On his way to the masjid the second time he tripped and fell and dirtied his clothes. He was persistent to pray so he went home to change his clothes and get ready to go to prayer. The third time he went to the masjid a man with a lantern was standing and guided him to the masjid upon arriving to the masjid the man with the lantern was walking away when he was doing this the other man said why are you leaving come and pray. He said i cant i am a jinn. The righteous man was astonished at hearing this so he asked the man why did you help me come to the masjid. The man said that he made him fall the first time because he was certain that when he fell and got dirty he would certainly not come back to the masjid. But you did return to go to the masjid because of this Allah (swt) forgave all your sins. Then the second time i tripped you i was certain there was no way you would return to go to the masjid. But you did because of this Allah (swt) forgave all your family's sins. I was afraid that if you were to be tripped a third time that you would return and Allah (swt) would forgive the sins of your coming family as well. Upon hearing this the man was astonished.
