This is Muhammad School -13
How was Muhammad with His Family and Children?
Aisha, the wife of Prophet Muhammad was once asked: "How was Allah's Messenger with his family and Children?
She responded:
"He used to patch his sandals, sew his garment and conduct himself at home as anyone of you does in his house. He was a human being, searching the cleanliness of his clothes, milking his sheep, and doing his own everyday jobs."
"He would patch his garments and sole his sandals."
She was once asked: "How was he with his family?"
"He was in the service of his family until it was time for prayer, at which time he would go and pray."
"I never saw anyone more merciful with children than the Messenger of Allah".
Muhammad and the disliked food
Abu Hurairah, one of Muhammad's companions narrated that:
"The Messenger of Allah never denigrated any type of food; if he liked it he ate it, and if he disliked it he left it alone"
Do not terrify the man
Anas Ben Malik one of Muhammad's companions narrated that:
While we were in the mosque with Allah's Messenger listening to His teaching, a desert rude Arabic man came on, and began to pass urine (urinate) in the mosque.
The companions of Allah's Messenger stood up and ran to the man and shouted at him saying," Stop! Stop! You can not do that in the Mosque".
The man was very terrified and struck with panic.
Prophet Muhammad said to his companions:
"You have terrified the man, do not interrupt him; leave him alone."
They left him alone, and when he had finished, Muhammad called him and said to him:
"These mosques are not suitable places for urine and filth, but are only for worshipping Allah, remembrance of Allah, prayer and recitation of the Quran."
Then Muhammad gave orders to one of his companions who brought a bucket and poured water over it.
Then the man who urinated, was very upset of Muhammad's companions who terrified him, he looked at them and said:
O Allah! Have mercy only on me and Muhammad,
O Allah! Forgive only me and Muhammad,
Prophet Muhammad smiled and taught the man this global Hadith:
O man! Do not limit the unlimited, you made the wide narrow.
The man said: I do not understand.
Muhammad said: Allah's mercy and forgiveness are extremely wide and unlimited
(It means do not limit Allah's mercy and forgiveness only for few people when they cover all mankind)
