A SMALL CHILD
ONE day Muhammad (pbuh) saw a small child shivering with cold. He
had no clothes to protect him against the terrible chill. When Muhammad
(pbuh) spoke to him he told him that his master was very cruel to
him. Tears rolled down Muhammad (pbuh)’s cheeks when he listened
to the lisping little child. He patted him affectionately.
Next day he met the same child again, carrying a big load that almost
crushed him. Muhammad (pbuh) took the burden from him, carried it
on his own shoulders and went along with him, on his errand. Muhammad
(pbuh) was very glad and said to the little boy, “think of Muhammad
(pbuh) when you are in trouble.”
