An Orphan and The Prophet (sm)

3:12 PM |

   Hazrat Muhammad (sm) was the greatest Prophet of the Muslims.He was very kind and gracious.He loved the youngers and respected the olders very much.He had great affection for the children.He played with them ,talked to them,loved them affectionately and kissed them on their cheeks.Sometimes he took them to his house and gave them sweets and delicious items of food.
    One day there was an Eid day in his province Medina.All children were happy and joyful.They enjoyed the Eid festival cheerfully.They laughed and shouted,talked and wondered here and there after Eid prayer with their relatives and friends.
    But it was a sorrow that after the Eid prayer while the Prophet (sm) was going back home,he saw a little boy sitting in a corner of the Eid Meidan.The eyes of the boys were full of tears.He was weeping silently.The Prophet (sm) went to him and asked affectionately why he was weeping.In disgust the boy requested him not to disturb him rather to go his way.The Prophet (sm) became more attentive towards the boy and talked to him more gently.He asked the reasons of his sorrow and sadness. The boy replied that his father went to fight for the Prophet (sm).He became a martyr  in the battlefield.He also said that his widow mother married another man.He was very cruel.The man had driven away him out of his house.So he had none to look after.Now he had no food to eat ,no cloth to wear and no house to live in.
    Hazrat Muhammad (sm) was sorry to hear the boys miseries. Hearing his words the Prophet (sm).Could not but shed tears.But hidding his sorrow the prophet smiled and said why he would be sorry for that.He added that he also lost his parents in his childhood.The prophet took the orphan boy to his house.He told him with affection that Ayesha (R) would be his mother and his loving daughter Fatema would be his sister.Ayesha the worthy wife of the Prophet (sm) accepted the boy happily.Ayesha (R) gave him a clean dress and fed him like a beloved mother.The orphan boy forgot all his sorrows.He now looked as happy and cheerful as other boys were.
