Our Prophet* and his family
never said a word unkind
so follow his example
for he's the best of all mankind!
*Peace and blessings be upon him and his family
The Companions were always kind to their servants, they ate the same food and were
never treated badly. One day an ungrateful servant broke the leg of a Companion’s
sheep. When the Companion saw the poor sheep he asked what happened, so the
ungrateful servant told him that he had broken its leg just to make him angry. When the
Companion heard this, instead of being angry, he thought to himself, "I will turn this
situation into one that shaytan will hate!" So instead of punishing him he said to his
servant: "Go, you are a freeman."
