Anas (RadiyAllahu Anhu) reported: I was walking with Messenger of Allah (Sallellahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) who was wearing a Najrani cloak with a very thick border when a bedouin happened to meet him. He took hold of the side of his cloak and drew it violently. I noticed that the violence of jerk had bruised the neck of Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.S.). The bedouin said: “O Muhammad! Give me out of Allah’s wealth that you possess.” Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.S.) turned to him and smiled and directed that he should be given something.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
COMMENTARY:
This Hadith also highlights the Prophet’s sublime morality, patience and self-control. He smiled away the discourtesy of the bedouin and bade the offering of a gift to him.
