The Story of a Man with Great Lust Confiding in the Prophet Muhammad Asking for Halal Zina, Here is His Surprising Response

"He then confided in Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and asked for permission to commit adultery. Want to know how the story continues? Here is the summary as compiled by Dream from various sources."

"Story of a High-Spirited Man Who Confided in Prophet Muhammad"

KH. Ahmad Bahauddin Nursalim or commonly known as Gus Baha once told a story about a man with high desires who wanted to convert to Islam and confided in Prophet Muhammad saw.

The man approached the Prophet Muhammad (saw) and asked for permission to commit adultery. He believed that if adultery was prohibited, he would have difficulty practicing Islam. The man went directly to the Prophet Muhammad (saw) in the mosque. His arrival disrupted the atmosphere of the mosque. The Prophet Muhammad (saw) asked, "Why is there a commotion?" "There is a young man who wants to convert to Islam but he still wants permission to commit adultery," answered the Prophet's companion.

Rasulullah saw then asked again: \

"Meeting with the Prophet Muhammad SAW"

The man who has a high desire finally met the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

He saw then asked: "Is it true that you are a young man who wants to convert to Islam but asks for permission to commit adultery?" "Yes, Prophet." the man answered. In that moment of meeting, the Prophet saw asked several questions to the man. "Do you like it if your mother's profession is like that and then enjoyed by a playboy?" the Prophet saw asked. "No, Prophet, if there is someone who dares to do that to my mother, I will hit him." the man answered.

The Prophet saw asked again, "Do you like having a daughter who becomes a plaything for hypocrites?" He continued to ask, "Do you like it if that happens to your sister?" Hearing every question from the Prophet saw that was related to his loved ones, the man with high desires said, "By Allah, I have never seen something as bad as adultery. By Allah, I will not commit adultery again."

"Wisdom that Can be Gained"

"Through the story of a man with high desire who confided in the Prophet Muhammad, the wisdom can directly be taken by Dream's companions."

First, in facing a sinful man, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) could reverse the logic. In other words, when receiving confessions from a man with a forbidden request from Allah SWT, he did not use threats of hellfire. Second, when the man asked for adultery to be made permissible to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), he did not immediately get angry. As stated in the Quran, the phrase 'Qul aroaitum' is used, where 'aroaitum' means inviting someone to think together.

Gus Baha said, that to maintain diversity or to preserve brotherhood, it should start with the way of resolving it without prioritizing emotions.
