The Prophet Of Mercy

The Prophet of Mercy urinating. The Companion became angry and rushed to stop him, but the Prophet stopped them. He said, “He is an ignorant man who does not understand the respect due to the mosque. Leave him be. Simply pour water over the spot where he urinated to clean it.” Then he advised his companion, “Your role is to make things easier for people, not to create difficulties or hardships for them.” (Sahih alBukhari, Hadith No. 6128) The entire life of the Prophet shows that even when people wished him harm, he always wished them well. His patience was always stronger than his anger. Even in the face of the worst provocation, he never became angry. When people spoke harshly, he replied with kind and soft words. People would throw thorns in his path, but he always prayed good for them. Jarir says that he heard the Prophet say: “Whoever is deprived of gentleness is deprived of all good.” (Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 2592) In another narration, he said: “God has revealed to me that you should all become humble. No one should feel proud over another, and no one should treat others unfairly.” (Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 2865) Jarir bin Abdullah also reports that the Prophet said: “Those who have no mercy in their hearts for others will be deprived of God’s mercy.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 7376)
