youngest was Hasan,. He loved his sons very much and he wanted them to be good muslims

One day Mr. 'Abdulah tested his sons to know their belief in God. He gave his sons
some cake and asked them to eat it in a place where no one could see them. Ali took the cake
and he went to his room. He shut the door and ate the cake. He thought that no one could see
him. Ahmad went to a cave near his house. It was dark in the cave. He was sure that nobody
was there who could see him. He ate the cake in the darkness of the cave. Hasan thought and
thought about finding a place where nobody could see him. He thought that there was no such
place. He remembered that Allah could always see him.
So he did not eat the cake Ali and Ahmad came back to their father and told him
about what they did. Hasan came back and returned the cake to his father and said that there
was no place which was secret from Allah. Mr. Abdullah was very pleased with Hasan and
told his two sons to learn a lesson from their brother, Hasan. He said that Allah knew
everything, saw everything and was with them all the time. So, it was said, they should not do
anything bad even in secret
