[12].Surah Yusuf [Joseph] : Ayat 16-17




Ayat 16. And they came to their father in the early part of the night weeping.
Ayat 17. They said:"O our father! We went racing with one another, and left Yusuf (Joseph) by our belongings and a wolf devoured him; but you will never believe us even when we speak the truth."    



Hazrat Wabisah bin Ma`bad (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I went to Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) and he asked me, "Have you come to inquire about piety?'' I replied in the affirmative. Then he said, "Ask your heart regarding it. Piety is that which contents the soul and comforts the heart, and sin is that which causes doubts and perturbs the heart, even if people pronounce it lawful and give you verdicts on such matters again and again.''
[Masnad Ahmad, Imam Ahmad Hadith # 228/4]. 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Yusuf Ayat 17. "but you will never believe us even when we speak the truth." There are two points about this Hadith. First, it is one of the miracles of Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) who discovered the nature of the question before it was put to him. Second, man's heart is the biggest guide to him and he, therefore, should keep his heart illuminated with the light of Faith so as to continue receiving guidance from it.
