Muhammad (saw) – The Perfect Man — Page 479
Muhammad sa The Perfect Man 479 had complete trust in God, Who was sufficient for all his needs. Once after leading the ‘A s r prayer, he rushed home. This was not his usual custom. When he returned, he had a gold nugget in his hand. He said, "During S al a t I remembered that one piece of gold had not been distributed. I have rushed to distribute it. It played heavy on my heart that this piece of gold remained in my house even for one day. " 39 While spending in the way of All a h, he had total trust in God as Provider of sustenance and the conviction that His treasurers did not lack anything. He increases the wealth of the one who spends and bestows more on him. Once the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa came to see his treasurer and servant Bil a l ra. He saw a heap of dates and enquired, "Bilal, what are these dates for?" Bil a l ra replied, "I intend to store them for the next year. " H u du r sa said, "Are you not afraid that hell fire would be ignited with these dates?" Then he advised Bil a l ra to spend in the way of All a h and that he should not be scared of poverty. 40 Hadrat M u s a bin Anas ra relates from his father that a request made to the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa never remained unfulfilled. 41 Hadrat Sa‘d ra bin Ab i Waqqa s relates, "The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa distributed some funds and left out one person who was very dear to me. I asked him why he had left that person out, who in his opinion was a Mo’min.
