YOU JUST CANT HATE THE PROPHET IF YOU KNOW HIM BETTER It was the day of celebration and a day of rejoicing. There was an air of festivity in the streets of Madina. All the people, both young and old were dressed in their best clothes, especially for this special day of Ramadhan Eid. As it was time for early morning Ramadhan Eid prayers everyone made their way to an open piece of land on the outskirts of the city of Madina. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) arrived and led the prayers. After they had finished they all greeted each other and everyone was walking back home. The children running and playing in excitement, smiling and laughing, without a care in the world. As Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) walked back home, he suddenly became aware of a little boy (Zuhair Bin Saghir) sitting by himself on the side of the path. The little boy was crying and looked very sad. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) bent down and patted him on the shoulders and asked why are you crying? Please leave me alone sobbed the little boy. The boy didnt even see who was talking to him. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) ran his fingers through the boys hair and very gently and kindly asked him again why he was crying. This time the boy said, My father was martyred fighting, and now my mother has married again and my stepfather does not want me to live at home any more. Today is Ramadhan Eid and everyone is happy. All the children have new clothes and nice things to eat, but I dont have any clothes except what I am wearing. I have no food and I dont even have a place to live. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said to him, I know how you feel, I lost both my mother and father when I was a little boy. The boy was surprised to hear that it was an orphan who was comforting him, and when he looked up to his great surprise it was the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), and he immediately jumped up to his feet out of love and respect. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said to him If I were to become your new father and my wife you new mother, and my daughter your new sister, would that make you feel better? Oh yes, that would be the best thing in the world! The boy started smiling. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) took him home and gave him new clothes and good food on this beautiful day of Ramadhan Eid. The boy indeed had a wonderful Ramadhan Eid that day
