when he was returning from an expedition and hung his sword from the
tree. A Non-Muslim person came quietly, took hold of the sword and,
addressing the Prophet said to him: "O Muhammad! now who will save you
from my hand?" The Prophet heard it, rose up from his seat and said:
"Allah will save me." Hearing the name of Allah, he was overawed and
the sword slipped from his hand. The Prophet rose up from his place,
took the sword into his hand and questioned him:"Now who will save you
from my hand?" He felt sorry and begged apology. The Prophet forgave
him. He was so impressed by this kindness that he embraced Islam. He
then went to his tribesmen and expressed that he never found a man
better than Muhammad (peace be upon him).

from your Lord. If you do not do it, you would not have fulfilled and
