A Blessed Necklace!
Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari, the Prophet's (S.A.W.) companion, says that a poor emigrant (Muhajir) came to the Prophet (S.A.W.) and asked for help. The Prophet (S.A.W.) answered: "I do not have anything. Go to my daughter whose house is beside mine". Then Bilal, the Prophet's (S.A.W.) muezzin, guided him. He went to Fatimah's (A.S.) house and said: "Peace be upon you, O The family of the Prophet!" and asked for help. When Fatimah (A.S.) got aware of his poverty, although she and her father and husband did not have anything to eat for three days, she brought out the necklace which Hamzah's (A.S.) son -her cousin- had presented her and told the man: "Take this and sell it. I hope that Allah gives you better than this". The man took the necklace and went to the Prophet (S.A.W.) and described what had happened. The Prophet (S.A.W.) cried and prayed for him. |
