Humble

Preaching had made Prophet Muhammad SAW travelled to faraway places
with his companions. One day, when he was traveling, it was getting late and
darkness surrounded the prophet. He decided to take some rest and spent the
night.

Approaching dinner time Rasulullah SAW and his companions started to feel
hungry. Then, prepare a lamb to be cooked as their dinner.

One man said, “Very well I’ll slaughter the lamb.”
“Then, I will skin it.” Said the other.

Another companion added, “I will cook it.”

Unexpected, Prophet Muhammad SAW said, “I’ll go to find some fire woods
to cook it.”

All at once, all companions turned their face to Prophet Muhammad SAW.
They were also so surprised. They looked at each other until one of them said
to Prophet, “Dear Rasulullah, let us do the work and prepare for dinner. You
just take some rest and wait until the food is ready.”

Prophet Muhammad SAW shook his head and smiled. Then, he said, “For the
sake of Allah, I know that you all mind good by not allowing me to find the
fire wood but I can’t just sit while you all do the working. Allah doesn’t like
those who think of them self as more special than the others. You don’t have
to worry, it’s alright for me to find some fire woods.”

After that, Prophet Muhammad SAW got up and went to find some fire
woods. The companions did their own task. Because of the teamwork, dinner
could be served in the short time.
