A very wonderful story
Be fair and merciful in your decisions
A young man married a woman. After three years of marriage,
God's will for this man to be a father did not come. This man believed in God's will and destiny, so he and his wife decided to go to an orphanage and adopt a child, care for him, and raise him in their care. They chose the child and brought him to their home. They devoted themselves to caring for him and nurturing him until they became attached to him and began to see him as a real son. After a few years, God's will came to them and they were blessed with a child of their own. Their joy was almost overwhelming, and they consulted among themselves about the fate of the child who lived among them until they decided that he would stay with them and care for him and their child.
God blessed them with him. Years later, the children grew up and became adults who supported them. Nothing separated them from each other. The children loved each other and understood each other. One day, the man and his wife went to visit a friend. Upon returning home, they found their own son crying and covered in blood. The man and his wife became angry after learning about this. They tried to find out why, but to no avail. They decided to expel their adopted son from the house.
After insulting and humiliating him, they told him to leave and never return to the house again. The young man left, tears filling his eyes and grief gripping his heart. He began walking the streets and alleys, hoping to find something to eat from people's garbage. At night, he would return to the garden to spend the night there, spreading his hands on the ground and covering himself with the sky, hoping his father or mother would pity him or have mercy on him. But to no avail. He remained in this state for days and days, trying to apologize and plead with them, but to no avail. They insisted on expelling him from the house. One day, the father heard his real son crying loudly in his room. He went in, hugged him, and asked, "What's wrong, my son? Why are you crying? Are you sick? Has something upset you?" The boy replied, "No, by God, Father. What makes me cry is my brother's condition. Every time I look at him, I see depression and sadness in him." The father angrily replied, "This is not your brother, not my son." Leave him alone. The boy said to him, "Father, what makes me cry is that I concealed from you the truth of why he beat me so fiercely." The father asked him, "What is the reason, my son?" The boy was silent for a while, then said to him, while crying, "I was talking to him, and while I was talking to him, I wished for your death or for something bad to happen to you so that I could enjoy your wealth." He got angry with me and began to beat me mercilessly, saying to me, "Die yourself and leave my father alone." He repeated this many times, then cried and said, "If my father dies, I will die with him, for I love him more than myself." The father was astonished by what he heard from his son, and ran to the garden, calling out, "Where are you, my son?" When he reached him, he found him lying on the ground. He had passed away from hunger and cold.

Each of us must be just and forbearing in our decisions, and not let emotion overcome us. Many a brother is better than your brother, and many a person is better than your children and relatives. How many children have disobeyed their parents, how many brothers have wronged their brothers, and how many relatives They have wronged you, and perhaps a hurtful word from you could ruin the future of someone who loves you and wishes you well.
Be merciful to those on earth, and the One in heaven will have mercy upon you.
