PROPHET MUHAMMAD AND THE BLIND JEWISH BEGGAR

Prophet Muhammad was a compassionate person. He had never hurt anyone, even to those
who treated him cruelly.
During his life, lived a blind Jewish beggar at the corner of Medina marketplace. Every
day he used to mock The Messenger of Allah. He kept telling people not to get close to
Muhammad, since Muhammad was a mad liar magician. If anyone got close to him, he or she
would surely be influenced.
Prophet Muhammad knew about what this blind Jewish beggar did to him, but he never
cared about it. Every morning, The Messenger of God would always come to him by bringing
some food to feed him without saying any words. He had been doing this until the end of his
life.
One day, after the death of the Prophet, his best companion Abu Bakr visited his daughter
who was the Prophet's wife, Aishah. He asked her, "Is there any sunnah of my beloved one
(Rasulullah) that I haven't done?"
Aishah replied, "O my father, you are a man of sunnah. As long as I'm concerned, no
prophet's tradition you haven't done, except one."
“What is that?” Abu Bakr was getting curious.
“Rasulullah used to visit a blind Jewish beggar at the corner of Medina marketplace
bringing him some food and feeding him." Aishah replied.
The following day, Abu Bakr went to the market by bringing food to feed the beggar. He
did what Rasulullah had done. When Abu Bakr began to feed him, the blind Jewish beggar was
outraged and shouting “Who are you?”
“I am the one who usually came here,” Abu Bakr calmly replied.
“NO! you're not the man who comes to me,” the Jewish beggar protested, “If that man
came to me, it would not be this difficult to chew the food. The man always fed me, but before
that, he would surely refine the food for me. I would never feel like this to eat.”.
Hearing the words of the blind beggar, Abu Bakr couldn't hold his tears drop. He cried and
said to the beggar, “Yes, I am not the man who used to come to you. That man has already
died. I am only his friend. That noble man was Muhammad The Messenger of Allah.”
The blind Jewish beggar was completely shocked hearing Abu Bakar's words. He cried
eyes out. “Is that true? I've been mocking him and slandering him, while he never got angry at
all. He fed me instead. How noble he was....”
The blind Jewish beggar was emotionally touched and moved by Rasulullah's act. Soon,
he declared shahadat. He bore witness there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His Prophet
and messenger. The blind Jewish beggar finally became a muslim, not by any harmful action,
but by a compassionate caring behaviour.
Ya Nabi Salam Alaika, Ya Rasul Salam, Salam Alaika, Ya Habib salam alaika,
sholawaatullaah alaika.
