A Sahabi came to the Prophet May Allah send peace and blessings upon him and complained of hunger and distress. The Prophet May Allah send peace and blessings upon him didnt have any food. He then asked the sahabas that who will take this sahabi as their guest on behalf of me. One Ansar said, “I Will.” He took him home and told his wife that he is a guest of the Prophet May Allah send peace and blessings upon him; we will entertain him as best as we can. The wife replied that we have enough food for the children. The Ansari said, “Put the children to sleep and when we start eating, turn the lamp off so the guest may not be aware of my not sharing with him.” The scheme worked; the whole family remained hungry to enable the guest to eat to his fill, it was because of this incident that Allah Taala revealed the verse: “They prefer others above themselves, even though poverty become their lot.” (y) Invitation To Islamic World
