The story of Barsisha, a Worshiper who Worships the Devil Before Death

One day, there was a famous person name Barsisha. Barshisha Al-'Abid, that's
how people gave him the nickname. Al-'Abid means expert worship. The predicate
was pinned because he was indeed a very diligent person in worship. In fact, even
the angels were amazed at his worship.
He is also an accomplished spiritual teacher. It is said that he has 60,000 students
who are all highly knowledgeable and have the sacred ability to fly. However, amid
the awe of the angels, Allah surprised him by saying to the angels: "What is it that
makes you so amazed by Barsisha. In fact, in my essence, she is like a cursed
devil."
Furthermore, the angels were astonished to hear that. They began to guess
what fate would have made him fall into the valley of the despicable level of satan.
Seeing the greatness of Barshisha, the devil - who is the ancestor of the devil -
became angry and irritated. So, the demons were invited who were then ordered to
carry out 'holy duties' according to the devil's version

the princess to recover from her illness, then bring it to Barshisha, surely, he
can heal her with his well-known prayer."

They then went to Barshisha's place and the princess recovered. Then a
demon who was still in human form came to visit and said, "If you want the princess
to really recover, not to have a relapse, it's best for her to be placed in Barshisha's
place for a while."
The king also obeyed the devil's words, and the princess was then lodged at
Barshisha's place.
One day, with the devil's cunning, an arrow of love stabbed into Barshisha's
heart. His heart trembled when he saw the beauty of the princess.
This devil's temptation then succeeded in making Barshisha unable to contain his
lust.
As a result of that incident, the princess became pregnant. Then the devil came
to meet Barshisha, saying sarcastically, "Well, Barshisha, you have impregnated the
king's daughter. You will not survive. The king will surely punish you for your
