Book Name:Sakhawat e Mustafa صَلَّی اللّٰہ تعالٰی علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

Islamic scholars have said: On that day, the bestowal of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was more than the whole life’s generosity of generous kings; the jungle was full of goats and the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was granting and the needy people came thronging in and the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had to step back. Even after all of them had been distributed, a Bedouin pulled the blessed shawl from the sacred body of Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, leaving a bruised mark on his blessed shoulders and back. Upon this it was only said: O people! Don’t rush, by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, you will never find me stingy.

Sayyiduna Jubair Bin Mut`im رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ told me that while he was in the company of Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم with the people returning from Hunayn, some people (Bedouins) caught hold of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and started begging of him so much so that he had to stand under a (kind of thorny tree (i.e. Samoorah) and his cloak was snatched away. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stopped and said, "Give me my cloak. If I had as many camels as these thorny trees, I would have distributed them amongst you and you will not find me a miser or a liar or a coward."

(Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 260, Hadees 2621, Malfuzaat, pp. 122) 

 

 

Likewise, Sayyiduna Sahal Bin Saad رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said that a woman brought a shawl and humbly said: Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! I have woven this with my own hands; I have brought it for you to wear. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم needed it and accepted it, then the Beloved Prophet
صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came towards us with the same shawl wrapped around as a Tahband. Having seen this, a blessed companion humbly said: What a lovely shawl it is! Give it to me to wear. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Yes! After some time he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم left the Majlis, then returned and sent the shawl to that companion, folding it. The blessed companion asked that person:
That was not the right thing to do, as you knew that the Beloved Prophet
صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم does not refuse anyone’s request. That companion replied: By Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! I begged only for this reason that the day when I die, this shawl (as a relic) could become my shroud. Sayyiduna Sahl رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ added: ‘Later, it did become his shroud.’ (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 54, Hadees 5810)
