PROMISE
MUHAMMAD (pbuh) had a very great regard for his word and whenever
he made a promise he kept it. Once a business partner of Muhammad
(pbuh) told him to wait for him at a certain place until he return.
But the man did not return. And to the utter surprise of that man
and everybody’s Muhammad (pbuh) waited there for three days
and tree nights. On the fourth day the man who had altogether forgotten
about it, came and apologized.
Muhammad (pbuh) was quite cool and said: “I had promised to
stay and I did. The real man is who keeps his promise. But there is
no fault of yours as you forgot it. If had a bad memory you should
neither take promise nor give one.”
