The Treatment of The Poor Prophet Mohammad S A W Stories

 assalamu alaykum insha'Allah today we

are going to learn about a snow incident

that occurred in the life of our holy

prophet muhammad salallahu alayhi

wasalam one day the Prophet was having a

meeting with his people inside a house

it was a usual meeting with people

gathered around them to hear the words

of wisdom and guidance suddenly a pool

man in rags appeared and he saluted the

assembly assalamu alaykum

he found a vacant place and sat down

comfortably the prophet salallahu alaihe

wasalam

had told them that all muslims were

brothers and in an assembly once you sit

whatever one finds a place regardless of

any status now it so happened that this

poor man was seated next to a very rich

man

the rich man felt very disturbed and

tried to collect the edges of his dress

around himself so that the poor man

didn't touch them the prophet salallahu

alaihe wasalam observed this and

addressing the rich man he salallahu

alaihe wasalam said

perhaps you are afraid that his poverty

would affect you know o Messenger of

Allah the rich man said then perhaps you

are afraid that your wealth may fly away

to him ask the prophets know o Messenger

of Allah the rich man said or you fear

that your clothes would become dirty if

he touch them

No o Messenger of Allah then why did you

draw yourself and your clothes away from

him

ask the prophets

the rich man said I admit that was the

most undesirable thing to do it was an

error and I confess my guilt now to make

a mess for it I will give away half of

my wealth to this Muslim brother so that

I may be forgiven just as he said this

the poor man rose and said all prophets

of Allah I do not accept this offer he

said people presents were taken by

surprise they thought that the poor man

was a fool but then he explained all

prophet of Allah I refuse to accept this

offer

because I feel that I might then become

arrogant and ill treats my Muslim

brothers the way he did to me the

Prophet was very happy at this reply and

he praised him for his wisdom the rich

man bowed down his head feeling ashamed

he realized what a fool he had been to

offer his wealth to such a wise man the

people gathered around him were quite

impressed to the moral of the story is

that she wealth is not measured by money

and poverty true wealth is created by

was compassion and kindness to others

irrespective of their status color or

faith
