 Musa (peace be upon him) and three boats

Long ago, God commanded Moses to go to the sea. There were three ships about to sink. Moses obeyed God's command and went to the sea. The shore was calm and a boat was coming from afar. He could be seen moving slowly towards the shore, but he was only a short distance from the shore

 

Long ago, God commanded Moses to go to the sea. There were three ships about to sink. Moses obeyed God's command and went to the sea. The shore was calm and a boat was coming from afar. It could be seen that it was slowly moving towards the shore. It was only a short distance from the shore when Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) called out, "O boatmen!" The command of Allah is coming, be careful, they replied, you know that no one can avoid the command of Allah, we are His servants who are bound by the command of God. And the ship began to rock and the sailors began to try to save themselves. At that time, another strong wave came and carried the ship along with it to the bottom of the sea. After a while another ship was sighted so Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) also warned them. He said come carefully, they also replied like the previous ones that what is going to happen will happen and they kept bringing the boat to the shore until it got close to the shore and that boat also sank. They thought about seeing a third ship coming. Allah's command is coming, so I should be careful when I ask for forgiveness of my sins. There is also mercy, why should we be disappointed in his mercy, so we rely on the mercy of Allah and He will surely bring us to the shore with peace and safety in His mercy.

 

Hearing this reply from the boatmen, Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) fell silent. When the boat landed safely on the shore, the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) began to think that Allah had ordered three boats to sink, so two sank, but the third landed safely on the shore. The Almighty said: O Musa (peace be upon him), you did not hear what the people of the third ship said. By mercy I was saved, for whoever comes to the door of my mercy and gives a hundred, I will not fail him. It is mentioned in the hadiths that when Allah created creation, He wrote on the throne: My mercy prevails over my wrath.
