and peace be upon him, said: “Indeed this Bedouin said what he said, and we
increased his amount so that he asserted that he was pleased. Is that so?” And
the Bedouin answered: “Yes, may Allah reward you with well being of family and
tribe.” Then the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: “Indeed the
narrative of myself and this Bedouin is as the narrative of a man who had a
female camel, which ran away. The people followed her, which only caused her
to be more frightened. The owner of the camel called the people and said to
them: „Leave the camel alone, for indeed I am gentle with her and have more
understanding.‟ He turned to the camel, and guided her, and returned her gently
until she kneeled. The he saddled her and sat upon her. Now, indeed if I forsook
you when the Bedouin said what he said, and you had killed him, he would have
entered the Fire.”
The Account of his Munificent and his Liberality
The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was the most generous and liberal
of men. In the month of Ramadan he was like the “Sent Wind,” (in Chapter 77
verse 1) withholding nothing. Ali, when he described the Prophet, praise and

increased his amount so that he asserted that he was pleased. Is that so?” And
the Bedouin answered: “Yes, may Allah reward you with well being of family and
tribe.” Then the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: “Indeed the
narrative of myself and this Bedouin is as the narrative of a man who had a
female camel, which ran away. The people followed her, which only caused her
