Holy Prophet pbuh has cursed those who give and take bribe.
Bribery is a huge sin.
I have never ever in my life given or taken any form of Bribery.
Once, I jumped a traffic signal at 3 swords, a policeman signalled me to stop. I parked my bike aside. He came, took my keys from ignition and asked for papers and licence. After verifying, he said jee aap ne signal tora hai, 500rs jurmana ho GA. I had only 100rs at that time. So I said, 100rs Hain(wanted to test if he asks for Bribery otherwise would never have told him I had money) . He said, bhai jurmana poora ada ho ga
Warna bike jae ge thaane. (I had copy of licence and papers)
I asked him to let me go. It won't happen again. Stuff like that. He said challan kaat dya hai. I kept insisting talking very innocently. After few seconds he's like acha 100 rs Hain? I said jee. He says
Chalo Ye de do.
I had already asked Allah when the policeman stopped me to get me out of this situation without any illegal means (Bribery)
Now this was my moment as I caught him asking for bribe. I ridiculed him for like 2 mins saying stuff like sharam nahi aate, rishwat maangte ho, khuda ka khof nhi kya? I took a name of the police inspector (I think his name was Raja) and told him m gonna report this thing to him.
And then he was like sir asie baat nahi, rishwat nahi maang rha. Sorry sorry.
3 policeman also came over there. One took the keys from his hand, gave it to me and said beta aap jao.
Thanked God and went away.
All these complications are the tests from Allah which we have to overcome ourselves.
Bribery is not the last resort.
Never ever forget Allah in such situation.
