This nasheed is by brother Dawud Wharnsby and it describes the conversation between an old pagan arab lady and a stranger who offers to help her. watch the video and discover how this meeting turns a pagan old woman into a believer. do not read ahead!: it will reveal the story's outcome. watch the video. find out what happens. then read past this line!!!!!
---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ----
The Prophet (pbuh) offered to help this woman, and all she does throughout their encounter is to mock and malign the Prophet (pbuh). Yet, he says nothing. He continues to help the woman with her load. He does not lash back at her; he does not pray for God's destruction upon her; he does not drop her stuff and let her fend for herself. No. He helps the woman anyway, and when she finds out who he is, all she could do was follow him into Islam.
Yet, the fact that she became Muslim is not the most important aspect of this story. It was the Prophet's character thats amazing the most. It is this aspect of the Prophet's sunnah that many of us have completely neglected.
