invitations. He would ride a donkey. I saw him in the holy war of<br />
Khayber. He rode a donkey with a rope halter. When Rasûlullah<br />
went out after morning prayer, children and workers of Medina<br />
would bring containers full of water before him. They would beg<br />
him to dip his blessed finger into the water. Winter as it might be,<br />
he would put his blessed finger into all the containers one by one,<br />
thus pleasing them.” Again, Anas bin Mâlik ‘radiy-Allâhu ’anh’<br />
said: “If a little girl held Rasûlullah’s hand and wanted to take him<br />
somewhere for some matter, he would go with her and solve her<br />
problem.”<br />
Hadrat Jâbir ‘radiy-Allâhu ’anh’, said: “Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu<br />
’alaihi wa sallam’ was never heard to say ‘no’ for anything asked<br />
from him.”<br />
Anas bin Mâlik ‘radiy-Allâhu ’anh’ said: “I was walking with<br />
Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’. He had a Burd-i Najrânî<br />
on. That is, he wore an overcoat made of Yemen cloth. A villager,<br />
who came from behind us, pulled his collar so harshly that the<br />
collar of the coat scratched his blessed neck and the scratch<br />
remained there. Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ turned<br />
round. The villager wanted something from the property of zakât.<br />
Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ just chuckled at his<br />
manners. He commanded that something should be given to him.”<br />
It is written in the book Tatummat-ul-Mazhâr: “This means to say<br />
that the person who is in a commanding position should, like<br />
Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa saslam’ did, put up with the<br />
problems and troubles caused by people. Besides, it is an act of<br />
being good-natured for everybody to be patient about problems. It<br />
is all the better for the superior ones.”<br />
It is written in the book entitled: Zâd-ul-Mukwîn: There was an<br />
old woman who was Rasûlullah’s ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’<br />
neighbor. She sent her daughter to Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu alaihi<br />
wa sallam’ to beg of him, “I do not have a dress to cover myself<br />
when praying. Send me a dress to cover myself for namâz.”<br />
Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ did not have any dresses<br />
at that moment. He took the loose robe off his blessed body and<br />
sent it to the woman. When it was time for namâz, he couldn’t go<br />
to the mosque without something to wear. The Ashâb-i kirâm<br />
‘rahmatullâhi ta’âlâ ’alaihim ajma’în’, hearing about this, said:<br />
“Hadrat Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ is so generous<br />
that he has no clothes left; therefore, he cannot come to the<br />
mosque for jamâ’at. Let us give all we have to the poor, too.”<br />
Thereupon Allâhu ta’âlâ sent down the twenty-ninth âyat of Sûrat-<br />
