The following narration is a story extracted from the text.
It has been narrated from Omar Ibn Yazeed that Abu Abdullah (‘a) said: “An Israelite man had asked Allah for 33 years to grant him a child, then when he realized that Allah does not answer him, he said: O’ Allah! Am I far from you and you cannot hear me? Or are you close, but you do not answer me? So, a man came to him in his dream and said: You ask Allah with a hideous tongue, a hard, cruel, impure heart, and a flawed intention. So, repent from your vulgarity, let your heart fear Allah, and refine your intention. He said: “So the man did so, asked Allah Almighty, and was gifted a son.” Qusas al-Anbiya (‘a) / pg181
