Lessons From The Holy Prophet (pbuh) by Bimiafashion(f): 9:43pm On Sep 20, 2015 |
One day a poor man brought a bunch of
grapes
to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu
Alaihi
Wasallam) as a gift. He was very excited to
be
able to bring a gift for the Prophet (Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam).
He placed the grapes beside the Prophet
(Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and said, ‘O
Prophet
of Allah, please accept this small gift from
me’.
He was a poor man who could not afford
more.
His face beamed with happiness as he
offered his
small gift. It was evident that he loved the
Prophet a lot.
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)
thanked
him graciously. As the man looked at him
expectantly, the Prophet ate one grape. Then
he
ate another one.
Slowly the Prophet finished the whole bunch
of
grapes by himself. He did not offer grapes to
anyone present.
The poor man who brought those grapes
was
very pleased and left.
The companions of the Prophet (Sallallahu
Alaihi
Wasallam) who were around him were
surprised.
Usually the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam)
shared whatever he got with them. He
would
offer them whatever he was given and they
would
eat it together.
Usually he would start first, out of respect to
the
person who had given him the gift. But he
would
always offer it to others.
This time had been different. Without
offering it
to anyone, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam) finished the
bunch of grapes by himself.
One of the companions asked respectfully,
"O
Prophet of Allah! How come you ate all the
grapes by yourself and did not offer to any
one of
us present?”
The holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)
smiled and
said, "I ate all the grapes by myself because
the
grapes were sour.
If I would have offered you, you
might have made funny faces and shown
your
distaste of the grapes.
That would have hurt the
feelings of that poor man.
I thought to myself that it's better that I eat
all
of them cheerfully and please the poor man.
I did
not want to hurt the feelings of that poor
man."
Moral:
1) Consideration for the feelings of others
2) Graciousness in accepting gifts.
Subhan'Allah.
Such was the character and
manner of our beloved Prophet Muhammad
(Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)
Pls remember this story and also share it
with
friends. Thats the best way we respond to
the
ignorants ![]() 1 Like |
