Visiting Fri.ends and Relatives working. The Prophet ate of the pumpkin and liked it. I saw him choosing the pumpkin around the plate. When I saw that, I took the ones near me and put them in front of him. I did not eat it then, but I have liked pumpkin ever since." When invited, the Prophet might go with some of his companions. An example was his visit to 'Itban ibn Malik who requested him to come and offer some prayer in his home. He said: "Messenger of God, my eyesight has badly weakened. I lead the prayer with my people. When it rains, the valley between me and them will be running fast and I cannot reach their mosque to lead the prayer. I would love that you come over and pray in my house, so that I will make the place where you pray my place of prayer." The Prophet said to him: "I will do, God willing." He went to him the following day in midmorning. With him were Abu Bakr, 'Umar and a few of his companions. The Prophet asked 'ltban: "Where would you like me to pray in your home?" 'Itban showed him an area and put a mat of straw there after sprinkling its edges with water. The Prophet led them in a prayer of two rak 'ahs. 'ltban requested the Prophet to stop and have something to eat as he had prepared some food. The Prophet stayed and ate at his place. The Prophet was keen to please his hosts. He extended his kindness to them all. His fine manners extended his kindness to their children. Anas said: "The Prophet was the best man in his manners. He used to come to us to socialize. I had a brother who was only three years of age. We called him Abu 'Umayr. When the Prophet came to us, he would joke and play with him. One day he came to us but found the child sad. He asked my mother: "Umm Sulaym; what is the matter with Abu 'Umayr? He looks sad and withdrawn". She said: "Messenger of God, his nughqyr19 with which he played has died." The Prophet went to him, rubbed his head and asked him, "Abu 'Umayr, what happened to the nughqyr? Abu 'Umayr, what happened to the nughqyr?" Mahmud ibn al-Rabi' said: "I recall when God's messenger sparkled my face with some water he took from a pail used to draw the water from a well in our house. I was only five then." 1'> Nughq>•ris the Arabic name that refers to a sma ll bird like the sparrow. 29
A Dtry in the Life ef Prophet Muhammad We see how this pleasant play impressed Mahmud so as to remember it after a long time. We may also wonder how the Prophet with all his preoccupations attended to a sad child, asking him about his little bird and how he sought to please other children. How pleased those children must have felt to see the Prophet coming close to them. How delighted their parents must have felt as they saw their children loved by the Prophet. When the Prophet visited any of his companions and ate at his place, he would pray for him and his family. He once visited Sa 'd ibn · Ubadah who put before him some bread and oil. The Prophet ate of that, then said: "May fasting people break their fast at your place; may devout people eat your food; and may the angels pray for you." Once the Prophet visited Busr ibn Abi Busr. When he approached his house, Busr and his wife came out to welcome him. They put a velvety cloth for him to sit on. Busr then said to his wife: "Bring your food". She brought a plate in which there was flour cooked with butter, water and salt. She placed before the Prophet. He ate of it and they shared the food with him. There remained some food in the plate. The Prophet then prayed for them, saying: "My Lord, forgive them their sins and bestow Your mercy on them. Bless them and grant them abundant provisions." One day the Prophet visited Jabir ibn 'Abdullah at his home. Jabir said to his wife: "God's messenger will come around midday. Do not do anything to displease the Prophet, nor talk to him nor ask him anything. He then slaughtered a fat goat he had. When he placed it before the Prophet, he looked at him and said: "J abir, you seem to know that we love meat." He ate along with all those who were with him. When the Prophet was about to leave, Jabir's wife, who was hiding herself somewhere in the house, called out to him and said: "Messenger of God, pray for me and for my husband. The Prophet said: "God's peace and blessings be with you and your husband." Later, Jabir said to his wife: "Haven't I told you not to speak to God's messenger?" She said: "Would you have thought that God would bring His messenger to my home and then I fail to request him to pray for me and my husband before he left?" 30
