And who should show up just there
and then? Well, none other than the
cursed
shaytan
. “
Oh yes
,” he said in
his screachy, wicked voice, “
To trick
them into disobeying Allah I will do
my very best.
”
“
Hey boy, your father means no
good,
”
shaytan
whispered, “
He is
going to throw you to the ground
and slit your tiny throat. So run
away, far away, and remember what
I say, that sometimes Allah and His
Prophet you should not obey.
”
But Ismail was a true servant of
Allah, even if only a child, and so he
picked up some pebbles and with
all his might, threw them at the
cursed
shaytan,
and did the wicked
one get a great fright.
No sooner did it strike him over his
evil head but
shaytan
turned to
stone right there in his slippery step.
