Parable of Greatness**

On the Teachings of a Companion's Life.**

Once, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his Companions were sitting in a market in Madinah. Among them was Abu Hurairah (RA), who was famous for his magnanimity. One day, he saw a helpless woman sitting in the market, unable to buy food.

 

The Holy Prophet (PBUH) called Abu Hurairah after seeing that scene and said, "O Abu Hurairah, look at this woman. Her sufferings should touch your heart."

 

Abu Hurairah (R.A.) understood that this was an opportunity for him. He ran to the woman and asked about her situation. The woman said, "I have worked so long, but today I could not buy any food."

 

Abu Huraira (RA) took out some money and gave it to the woman. The woman looked grateful and said, "May God bless you."

 

This incident made a deep impression on the hearts of the other Companions. They all started praising the greatness of Abu Huraira. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said, "Whoever helps others, Allah opens the door of Paradise for him."

 

From then on the companions were more encouraged to help each other. They realized that God's pleasure lies in doing something for every helpless person in the society.

 

One day, Abu Hurairah (RA) went to the market again and saw many people standing next to the helpless. He smiled at them and said to himself, "That is Islam, where one helps one another."

 

Thus, Abu Hurairah (R.A.) proved to brinr change in the society through his magnanimity and kindness. A lesson should be learned from his life that doing right in the way of Allah earns a place in people's hearts.

 

It reminds us that the beloved servant of Allah is the one who is always engaged in the service of His creation and society.
