· The Would be Murderer is Forgiven
|
Once the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) was travelling to a far off place. It was the middle of the day and the sun was at its highest. It gave out a burning heat. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) stopped for a short while to rest. All his companions (Radiyallahu Anhum) got off their camels and rested. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) lay down under the shade of a tree. He was so tired that he went to sleep as soon as his head touched the ground.
There was a man nearby who did not like the Prophet's (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) teaching about one Allah. The man himself, like many of the people of the time prayed to idols and believed in many different kinds of gods. This man, seeing that the Prophet, (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) who was some distance away from his fellow travellers, had fallen asleep, thought to himself, "Now is the time to put an end to this man who tells us that we must pray to the one Allah and not to our many gods." He quickly ran over to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). As he did so, he took out his sword and just as he intended to strike, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) woke up. The man said, "Muhammad, who can save you from me now?" The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) did not seem to be worried at all. "Allah the Almighty will save me," the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) answered.
The man was very surprised and began to wonder what kind of man was this who was not afraid of being killed. He began to tremble and the sword fell out of his hand.
Quickly, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) got up, picked up the sword with one hand and grabbed his attacker with the other, and said, "Tell me now, who will save you from me?" The man did not know what to do. He was frightened because he knew he would be killed. He started to tremble and asked the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) to be kind to him. "No one but you can save me," he replied.
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) let him go. The man was so impressed with this treatment and behaviour of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) that he immediately embraced Islaam and followed the teachings of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) for the rest of his life.
