Sahih al-Bukhari #3319
Prophets
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Once three persons (from the previous nations) were traveling, and suddenly it
started raining and they took shelter in a cave. The entrance of the cave got closed while they were
inside. They said to each other, 'O you! Nothing can save you except the truth, so each of you should
ask Allah's Help by referring to such a deed as he thinks he did sincerely (i.e. just for gaining Allah's
Pleasure).' So one of them said, 'O Allah! You know that I had a laborer who worked for me for one
Faraq (i.e. three Sas) of rice, but he departed, leaving it (i.e. his wages). I sowed that Faraq of rice and
with its yield I bought cows (for him). Later on when he came to me asking for his wages, I said (to
him), 'Go to those cows and drive them away.' He said to me, 'But you have to pay me only a Faraq of
rice,' I said to him, 'Go to those cows and take them, for they are the product of that Faraq (of rice).'
So he drove them. O Allah! If you consider that I did that for fear of You, then please remove the
rock.' The rock shifted a bit from the mouth of the cave.
The second one said, 'O Allah, You know that I had old parents whom I used to provide with the milk
of my sheep every night. One night I was delayed and when I came, they had slept, while my wife and
children were crying with hunger. I used not to let them (i.e. my family) drink unless my parents had
drunk first. So I disliked to wake them up and also disliked that they should sleep without drinking it,
I kept on waiting (for them to wake) till it dawned. O Allah! If You consider that I did that for fear of
you, then please remove the rock.' So the rock shifted and they could see the sky through it. The
(third) one said, 'O Allah! You know that I had a cousin (i.e. my paternal uncle's daughter) who was
most beloved to me and I sought to seduce her, but she refused, unless I paid her one-hundred Dinars
(i.e. gold pieces). So I collected the amount and brought it to her, and she allowed me to sleep with
her. But when I sat between her legs, she said, 'Be afraid of Allah, and do not deflower me but legally.
'I got up and left the hundred Dinars (for her). O Allah! If You consider that I did that for fear of you
than please remove the rock. So Allah saved them and they came out (of the cave)."

And [He also forgave] the three who were left behind [and regretted their error] to the point that the earth closed in on them in spite of its vastness and their souls confined them and they were certain that there is no refuge from Allah except in Him. Then He turned to them so they could repent. Indeed, Allah is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.
