Holy Prophet of Islam - Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa — Page 343
The Holy Prophet of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa sa sa sa. Sa sa га sa. Prophet said: 'O Jewish one! I can sell the dates for a fixed value and for a fixed time but without the condition that the dates must be from the specified orchard. ' He agreed to it. So, the Holy Prophet made a deal with me. I gave the Holy Prophet eighty Mithqal in advance on condition that he would give me a certain amount of dates on such a date. ' The Holy. Prophet gave the gold to the man and told him to distribute it equally to the distressed people and help them. Zaid bin Sa'nah relates, 'A couple of days were still left in the period for repayment of the debt when I came to the Holy Prophet". I seized him by the collar, pulled his sheet and said angrily, O Muḥammad! Won't you give me what is my right? By God!. You know very well that you people are very bad in repayment of loans and I also know very well your habit of putting off repayment. ' At that time, I was looking at Hadrat ‘Umar". His eyes were whirling like a boat in a storm. He angrily looked towards me and said, 'O enemy of Allāh! How dare you say to the Messenger" of Allāh what I am hearing, and treat him so rudely. By God, Who has sent him with Truth! Were I not afraid of him,. I would have cut your head with the sword. ' The Holy Prophet", who was calmly looking towards Hadrat 'Umar" and smiling, said, 'O 'Umar!. Instead of showing anger, what both of us deserve is that you tell me about a good way of repayment and to him about a good manner of demanding it. Although a couple of days remain in the due date for repayment, he probably needs money sooner. Therefore, give him what is due to him and give him twenty Ṣa' (a unit of weight) dates extra. ' When I was paid, I asked, "Umar" why am I being paid extra?' 'Umar" said, 'The Holy. Prophet had told me to pay you twenty Sa' extra for my acting harshly with you. . ' I asked Ḥadrat ‘Umar", 'Do you know who I am?' Ḥadrat 'Umar said: 'No. Who are you?' I told him that I am Zaid bin Sa'nah. . Hadrat 'Umar" asked: 'Hibar (i. e. , the Jewish learned man)?' I said: 'Yes. . The Jewish learned man. ' 'Umar" said: Then, why did you behave so?' I replied: 'I saw all the signs of prophethood in the Holy Prophet" when I beheld his face, except the two. One of these was that his tolerance would overpower his anger and the second was that no matter how much he was provoked and treated rudely he would exhibit great tolerance.
