the woman that where she was going and why? She said that I am leaving this town
as I have heard that a magician named Muhammad
ﷺ
is in town.
As Holy Prophet Muhammad
ﷺ
was very patient and kind, He
ﷺ
didn’t say a word
and kept listening. The old lady kept complaining that why she was leaving the town.
In short the basic reason of her to leave the town was her misconception about
Muhammad
ﷺ
, who was walking beside her and she didn’t knew it.
While walking with the Holy Prophet
ﷺ
, that old women noticed that this young man
have a brightness on his smiling and humble face. And she also noticed that His
sweat is perfumed. She was very impressed.
When they reached the destination, Muhammad
ﷺ
put down the bag and was
about to leave when the old woman said,”O, kind person! At least tell me your
name!”. Prophet Muhammad
ﷺ
replied,”I am the person because of whom you left
the town.”The old lady was amazed to listen that and said that such a kind, helping
and true person can never be wrong and therefore she also accepted Islam..
HELPING HAND
Once Muhammad
ﷺ
saw a slave grinding some grain on a grinding mill driven
by hand. As he ground the grains he was crying. On seeing this Prophet became
anxious. He asked the slave the reason why he was weeping. The slave said, “I am
sick. I cannot grind the grain. My master is very cruel and he will beat me if I cannot
finish my job.” At this, the Prophet stepped forward and ground the rest of the grain
saying, “Always call me if you have any grain to grind. I will do it for you.”
Another time, the Prophet
ﷺ
saw an old man walking and trembling under the
weight of water which he carried in a leather jacket. The old man walked a few steps
and rested a bit. Seeing this, the Prophet took the load and carried it to his place.
THE MAN WHO WANTED TO SELL HIS CAMEL
One day the holy Prophet of Allah was going somewhere when he met a man selling
a camel.
The holy Prophet
ﷺ
liked the camel and bought it at an agreed price. The holy
Prophet
ﷺ
did not have money on him at the time so he asked the camel dealer to
follow him up to his home and he would pay him his due. The man agreed. As they
were going, another man approached and asked
the camel dealer if he was selling his camel and for how much. He said that he had
already sold the camel to the holy Prophet for such an amount. This man offered
him better price and he agreed to sale the camel to him. The holy Prophet said
to the camel dealer that since he had already sold the camel to him, it
was wrong to break the agreement just like that. The man denied
making any agreement.
Whilst all this was going on, the passers by stopped
and wondered as to what was going on.

ﷺ
