Madinay ki Machli | The Fish of Madinah
slave was working over there. When the slave was given food, a dog also arrived. The slave gave 3 breads, one by one to the dog and the dog ate them. Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Ja’far عَـلَیْـهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الْاَکۡـبَر asked the slave, ‘How much of food do you get in a day?’ The slave replied, ‘It was all that you have seen’.
Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Ja’far عَـلَیْـهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الْاَکۡـبَر asked, ‘You gave all the food to the dog, selflessly’! He replied, ‘There are no dogs in this area. He has come from a distant place and was hungry. It was not agreeable to me that I eat to my desire and this dog, who cannot speak, remains hungry.’ Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Ja’far عَـلَیْـهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الْاَکۡـبَر said, ‘What will you eat today?’ He replied, ‘I will starve.’
The selflessness of that slave greatly impressed Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Ja’far عَـلَیْـهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الْاَکۡـبَر. Therefore, he purchased the slave, garden and other stuff from its owner, set the slave free and gifted the garden etc., to that very slave.
