"I Can't Stop Sinning" - YouTube

It was narrated that a man who used to sin a lot came to the wise and righteous man, Ibrahim Ibn adham. He was from the early Muslims. So he tells him, "Give me some advice because I always sin."

So Ibrahim Ibn adham (ra) tries to shame him out of sinning in front of Allah SWT. He says, "If you want to sin against Allah SWT, go ahead and do so. Just don't eat or drink; don't drink from Allah's food and don't drink from the drink that He provides for you. Don't use his provision."

How can I do that, when everything is provided by Allah?

Does it make sense to sin against Allah while you're eating His food?

You're right. Give me the second piece of advice

If you insist on sinning against Allah while eating His food and drinking from His drinks, then at least don't sin against Him on His land.

That is bigger than the first one, when all the land belongs to Allah.

Is it proper then, that you sin against Allah while you eat His food and you do it on His land?

Give me the third piece of advice.

The third piece of advice is if you're going to insist upon doing all that, then at least sin where He can't see you.

This is even greater

Does it make sense, that you sin against Allah on His land, while eating from His food that He provides, and you do it right in front of Him?

Give me the fourth piece of advice

If you still insist upon sinning after all this, then continue sinning, but when the Angel of Death comes to take you, tell them to wait for you until you make 2 rakaat salah and you repent to Allah Azza Wa Jal

The angel won't allow me.

Then when they commanded to throw you into the hellfire, refuse to go with them

They won't allow me........ Enough! Enough!

The man had gotten his advice. He had understood the admonition, and it was said that from that day the man went on without sinning against Allah SWT
