Sahl ibne Sa'd (RA) narrates: Once a person passed by Rasulullah (SAW),
(and) he asked someone sitting with him: What do you think of the
passerby? He replied: He is among the respected of the society; and by
Allah! If he proposes to a woman, he will be married; should he
recommend something, his recommendation will be accepted. Rasulullah
(SAW) kept his peace (silence). Then, another person passed by, and
Rasulullah (SAW) asked (the man sitting with him, again): What is your
opinion about this man? He answered: O Rasulullah! He is a poor of
Muslims. If he proposes (for marriage), it will not be accepted; should
he recommend (something), his recommendation will be rejected; and if he
speaks, nobody will pay heed. Rasulullah (SAW) said: This man (the poor
Muslim) is better than a whole world (full) of the like of that (the
first one). Source: Sahih Bukhari.
We must love and respect the poor ones of this ummah and we should never
look down upon them. During this month of Ramadan, let us all remember
how much sufferings they go through everyday.
Be Inspired by Reading Islamic Stories.
