Muhammad sa The Perfect Man 285 the sight of All a h. Whosoever recites, ِ ّٰ ٖ ﺳُﺒْﺤَﺎن َ اﻟﻠ وَحبَِﻤْﺪِہ would have one hundred and twenty four thousand good deeds recorded for him". The black man enquired, "O Messenger of All a h, how can we be destroyed despite doing these acts". The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa said, "On the Day of Judgment, a person would present his one deed, if this deed was to be placed on a mountain, even the mountain would feel it heavy. Compared to this one blessing, out of the blessings of God, would be heavier than this deed except if God in His Mercy bestows a greater reward. " Then H u du r sa recited the first twenty one verses of S u rah Ad-Dahr. In these verses blessings of Paradise are mentioned. The black person said, "O Messenger of All a h, would my eyes see these bounties like your eyes would see them?" The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa said, "Why ever not"? At this the black person started to cry. He cried so much that he passed away crying. Hadrat ‘Abdull a h bin ‘Umar ra relates that the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa placed his body in the grave with his own hands. 12 These are just a few examples of the compassionate and kind nature of our beloved Prophet sa. Some similar examples have been included in the chapter, with titles; care for the relatives, sympathy for mankind, love for the Companions, forgiveness and mercy and the Great Patron.
