Chapter 97 Myron Shamai's Story of Pursuing a Beautiful Woman-2

Just when Abdullah Rahman was feeling embarrassed, a pious ascetic broke free from the crowd, chanting and chanting at the beautiful appearance of Merun Shamai, and was so moved that he wept bitterly. .Then he stroked the white hair with his right hand and walked slowly towards Merun Shamai.His majesty made the people present stand in awe.He looked at Merun Shamai in dismay, and amazingly offered him a bouquet of flowers.The merchant hurriedly took out a few silver coins, paid him, and said, "Cultivator, take your reward and go away!" The ascetic took the money, sat down on the bench in front of the shop, looked at Merun Shamai, and burst into tears, out of control.People turned their attention to him and said suspiciously: "Practitioners are not good people." Someone said: "It's probably because this practitioner fell in love with that young man."

Seeing this, the businessman got up and said, "Son! Let's close the door and go home. I won't do business anymore. It's all your mother's fault, may Allah punish her for causing so much trouble. " "Hey! Practitioner! Go away, I'm going to close the door." The merchant then yelled at the ascetic for a while, then closed the shop door, and took his son away.But the spectators and the ascetic followed his father and son all the way to his door.When the businessman saw his son Merun Shamai entering the house, he turned around and said to the practitioner:

"Cultivator, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying bitterly?" "My master, I am waiting to be your guest. When you receive me, it is like receiving Allah's guest." "I wholeheartedly welcome Allah's guests, so please come in." The businessman thought: "If this ascetic has evil intentions towards my son or behaves frivolously, I will not spare him; if he is a gentleman, then I should treat him to eat and drink as a landlord." Entering the house, let him sit down in the living room, and immediately whispered to Merun Shamai: "My son, after I leave, you sit with the practitioner for a while, and I will peek at him from the window. He only needs to be a little frivolous." Behavior, I'll kill him right away."

Merun Shamai obeyed his father's words and accompanied the guests alone in the living room, sitting next to the ascetic.The ascetic stared at him blankly, weeping mournfully.When Merun Shamai talked to him, he always answered respectfully, and he kept moaning, with a preoccupied look. At dinner, he still ate and cried, staring at Merun Shamai.At the second watch, it was time to go to bed. The businessman told Merun Shamai: "Son, you are so good at serving this uncle who is practicing. Don't be negligent." "No, my master, take the child away. Or you can sleep with us." The ascetic said when he saw that the merchant was about to leave.

"No. Here, this is my son. He sleeps with you, and if you need anything at night, he will be there for you." After the merchant finished speaking, he walked out of the living room, quietly hid in the next room, and secretly observed the behavior of the ascetic through the window. Merun Shamai went up to the ascetic and flirted with him flirtatiously.The ascetic was very angry, and said to him seriously: "Son, what are you talking about? Please bless God, this is absolutely forbidden by Allah. My child, please stay away from me." I quickly got up and dodged far away. But Merun Shamai chased after him and said, "Practitioner, I like you from the bottom of my heart, why don't you know how to cherish it?"

"If you don't behave like this," the ascetic became even more angry, "I will call your father and tell him all about your behavior." "My father knows my behavior, he will not control me." "I swear to Allah, I won't do such bad things. Even if you kill me, I won't do it." Regardless of Merun Shamai's obsession, he stood up resolutely, facing the direction of the holy place of Mecca, and prayed twice.Just after praying, Merun Shamai came to pester and harass him again, so he had to pray twice more.In this way, he prayed five times in a row.

Merun Shamai asked: "Who are you worshiping? Standing on the altar all night without enjoying the good things, do you want to ascend to heaven?" "Child, drive away the devil attached to you, and convert to Allah with all sincerity." The merchant was in the next room, saw what happened, listened to their conversation, and confirmed that the ascetic was a good man and had no evil intentions.He secretly thought: "If this ascetic is a bad person, then he doesn't need to spend so much effort to avoid it." When the ascetic continued to pray in order to avoid harassment, Merun Shamai continued to disturb him, so that he finally couldn't bear it anymore, lost his temper, acted rudely and beat Merun Shamai to tears.The merchant heard the cry of the child, went into the drawing-room, wiped his tears, and comforted him.Then he said to the ascetic:

"Dude, since you are a decent person, why did you cry when you saw my son? Is there something hidden in this?" "some." "When you were crying and mourning, I thought you were not a good person. That's why I asked the child to do that to test your character. I have thought about it a long time ago. If I find out that you have any frivolous words and deeds, I will kill you." You can’t. Later I saw your honesty and words and deeds, and I realized that you are a man of integrity. Swear to Allah, tell me why you cry.” "Ah! my master! don't mention my sorrow."

"No, you must tell me." So, the ascetic told a story——
