Visiting Ftiendr and Relatives Those noble people, the Prophet's noble companions, were the recipients of his prayers and blessings. The fact that His messenger lived among them was a great favour God bestowed on them. As we have seen, his visits were a source of delight for them all. These visits were an honour to the adults among them, full of care for their children, and a total blessing to them all. At the same time, his visits were full of education and instruction, aiming to consolidate the right values in their hearts in the Prophet's unique and highly refined way of education. 'Abdullah ibn 'Amir ibn Rabi'ah reports: "God's messenger visited us when I was a young boy. I wanted to go out to play. My mother said to me: ''Abdullah, come herej I want to give you something.' The Prophet asked her: 'What do you want to give him?' She said: 'I am giving him some dates.' The Prophet said: 'If you do not, your words will be entered in your record as a lie."' We note here how the Prophet gives this instruction to the mother in order to firmly instil the value of speaking the truth in the child's mind. The child learnt this value fully and reported it to the Muslim community in later years. Thus you, dear reader, and I have learnt it. The Prophet visited Sa 'd ibn 'Ubadah. When he sat with him attended by others, Bashir ibn Sa' d said to him: "Messenger of God, God has commanded us to bless you. How do we do it?"20 The Prophet was silent for some time and some people present wished that the question was not put to him. The Prophet then said to them: "Say: our Lord, bless Muhammad and Muhammad's household just as You blessed Abraham and Abraham's household. Bestow Your favours on Muhammad and Muhammad's household just as You bestowed Your favours on Abraham and Abraham's household among all mankind. You are the One worthy of praise, the Glorious. As for the greeting, it is just as you know.'' We may wonder at the Prophet's remaining silent for a while. People's minds wandered far and wide. They were eager to hear his answer. Hence, when he gave his answer, they were so keen to learn 20 Bashir's question refers to the Qur'anic verse: "God and His angels bless the Prophet. Believers! Bless him and give him greetings of peace." (33: 56) 31
AD'!)' in the Life ef Prophet Muhammad it that it could not be forgotten. May all peace and blessings be to the best teacher of goodness. When the Prophet visited 'ltban ibn Malik, a large number of people gathered in his home. One man said: "What happened to Malik ibn al-Dukhshum? I have not seen him for a while." Another man said: "He is a hypocrite. He does not love God and His messenger." The Prophet said to him: "Do not say that. Have you not heard him saying, 'there is no deity other than God', seeking only to earn God's pleasure?" The man said: "God and His messenger know best. As for us, we only see him befriending and talking to the hypocrites." The Prophet said: "God has forbidden that anyone who declares that 'there is no deity other than God', seeking only to please God, should be thrown in hell." We should reflect on how the Prophet used this visit to teach his companions, and all Muslims, that they must protect the honour of their fellow Muslims. They must not speak ill of them in their absence. His teaching also shows that we must always look at the positive aspects of all people. The most important of these is the belief in God's oneness. This is clearly seen in the Prophet's drawing his listeners' attention to the fact that the man in question had declared his belief that 'there is no deity other than God.' I wonder how pure our meetings and conversations will be if we abstain from talking ill of everyone who declares that 'there is no deity other than God'.
