KINDNESS TO ONE'S PARENT'S FRIENDS
|H 343
“Abdullah the son of Omar was traveling to Mecca and became tired
riding his camel; so he wound a turban around his head and rode
his donkey instead.
As he was riding he met a Bedouin Arab and asked him, „Aren't you
so and so, the son of so and so?‟ The man replied, „Yes, indeed.‟
Thereupon Abdullah gave him the donkey and said, „Ride it‟ and he
gave him his turban saying, „Wind it around your head.‟ Some of his
companions said to him, „May Allah forgive you, you have given this
Bedouin your easy riding donkey and the turban you wound round
your head.‟ He said, „I heard the Prophet, praise and peace be upon
him, say, „Of the highest virtue is that a person should be kind to the
members of a family who had been the friends of one's father before
his death.‟”
