heard Suraqah calling but he ignored it. Suraqah called again, “Dear Muhammad,
please give me a help here. I won’t do you any harm!”

slammed in the sand.

“Please help me. I promise, I’ll leave you in peace. You can take my food and sword”,
said Suraqah weakly. Prophet Muhammad SAW replied, “We don’t need your food and

your sword. Just tell all people who are chasing us to leave us. That’s enough.”

touched by the Prophet’s compassion. He decided not to harm the Prophet Muhammad
