The story of Tha'alaba ibn Abdul-Rah man(Ra)
Though this story is not sahih but u can learn from it ,Thalaba ibn Abdul rahman was a young man at the age of 16. He always ran errands for the prophet ﷺ. One day while walking through the city of Medina,he passed by a house with an open door. Out of curiousity he took a glance inside.
In this glance he saw a light curtain being blown away from a bathroom entrance where a woman was bathing He immediately lowered his gaze with an extreme feeling of guilt and hypocrisy, thinking to himself ,"How could I be of the companions ,one that is close to the prophet one who runs errands and be so horrible as to disrespect peoples privacy?".
He feared that Allah would reveal to the prophet ﷺ evidence of his hypocrisy.His guilt denied him to ever show his face to the prophet ﷺ. So he ran away .
Subhanallah, days went by and the prophet kept asking the other companions if they had seen tha'alaba.No one had seen him. With the prophet worry about thaalaba hr sent few of his companions to look for him among where Omar Ibn khattab(ra) and Salman All farisi(ra). They looked everywhere in Medina ,and outskirts of Medina ,until that came about a set of mountains between mecca and Medina where some nomads are herding shee. The companions asked the nomads if they had seen a young man with thaalaba's characteristics . They told the companions about a weeping boy He had been there for over 40 days .He came down from the mountain once a day weeping and drnak the milk they would offer him . The he went back up the mountain weeping ,crying always asking for Allah's forgiveness, and saying words of repentance.
So the companions waited until he came down and watched him ,he had lost his weight. His countenance reflected sorrow as he drank the milk that was kixwd with is tears. The companions insisted they take him back to the prophet ﷺ but he refused he asked them if Allah had revealed verses saying he was a hypocrite. The told hi they had no knowledged of any such verses. He was taken back to medina where the prophet went to see him. He asked again if Allah had put him among the hypocrites or revealed that hr was. The prophet ﷺ assured him that there were no such verses.He laid out Thalaba’s tired,weak body and placed thaalaba's head on his lap . He said "oh prophet of Allah remove the head of a sinner away from you".The prophet comforted him until he told the prophet ﷺ "I feel as though ants are walking between my flesh and bones."
The prophe ﷺ told him it was death and his time had come. He ﷺ witnessed while thaalaba's head was on his lap, Thaalaba proclaim "there is no god worthy of worship except Allah." He ﷺ washed Thaalaba and carried him to the grave. It was narrated that on their way to bury thaalaba the prophet tip toed as though he wasin a large crowd. When Omar(ra) asked about this,the prophet ﷺ the prophet explained he was being crowded with angels .
How do we treat our sins today and where is lowering of the gaze in our lives?. Anas (ra) said :: you indulge in bad actions which are more insignificant to you than a hair while we considered them at the time of the messenger of Allah ﷺ to be great destroying sins. May Allah reform us for good......
