The Story Of Our Beloved Prophet (peace Be Upon Him) And The Sour Grapes!! by Musharraf: 11:50am On Jan 29, 2016 |
THE STORY OF OUR BELOVED PROPHET (PEACE BE UPON
HIM) AND THE SOUR GRAPES!!
Must read!!
Whenever they reaped their first harvest, they brought
early, fresh fruits to Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and
blessings be upon him). Then he would distribute them
among his companions (Sahabah), those who sat around
him.
One day a poor man brought a bunch of grapes to the
Holy Prophet Muhammad as a gift. He was very excited to
be able to bring a gift for the Prophet (peace be upon
him). He placed the grapes beside the Prophet (peace be
upon him) and said, ‘O Prophet of Allah, please accept this
small gift from me’. He was a poor man who could not
afford more. His face beamed with happiness as he
offered his small gift. It was evident that he loved the
Prophet a lot.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) thanked him graciously.
As the man looked at him expectantly, the Prophet ate one
grape. Then he ate another one. Slowly the Prophet
finished the whole bunch of grapes by himself. He did not
offer grapes to anyone present. The poor man who
brought those grapes was very pleased and left.
The companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) who
were around him were surprised. Usually the Prophet
(peace be upon him) shared whatever he got with them.
He would offer them whatever he was given and they
would eat it together. Usually he would start first, out of
respect to the person who had given him the gift. But he
would always offer it to others. This time had been
different. Without offering it to anyone, the Prophet (peace
be upon him) finished the bunch of grapes by himself.
One of the companions asked respectfully, "O Prophet of
Allah! How come you ate all the grapes by yourself and did
not offer to any one of us present?”
The holy Prophet (peace be upon him) smiled and said, "I
ate all the grapes by myself because the grapes were
sour. If I would have offered you, you might have made
funny faces and shown your distaste of the grapes. That
would have hurt the feelings of that poor man. I thought to
myself that it's better that I eat all of them cheerfully and
please the poor man. I did not want to hurt the feelings of
that poor man."
Moral:
1) Consideration for the feelings of others
2) Graciousness in accepting gifts.
Subhan'Allah.. Such was the character and manner of our
beloved Prophet (peace be upon him). |
