When a king requested a beggar to teach him how he was able to develop such a high level of motivation in obeying Allah (s.w.t) and overcome his worldly forbidden temptations. The beggar told him to kidnap a fruit seller from the street, put him in a totally separate room of jail, provide him all the forbidden luxuries including the most beautiful prostitute of that time. Tell her if she is able to convince him to have an immoral relationship at night, she would be given a lot of money in the morning. After providing all these facilities, tell the fruit seller that his neck would be cut in the morning irrespective of the choices he makes that night....
When the fruit seller saw that all his request and crying has no effect on the king, he sat at one corner of the room and started praying with tears in his eyes and begging Allah (s.w.t) for forgiveness. All night the woman tried to seduce him but he kept telling her angrily to move away from him.
In the morning the king saw that the fruit seller had not even touched any single forbidden luxury. He set the fruit seller free and realized the secret of that beggar's high level of obedience towards Allah (s.w.t).
