Islamic Stories - The mercy of the merciful Prophet

A Bedouin came to Rasul Allah and told him, "Give me from what Allah
gaveyou, not from the wealthof your mother nor fromthe wealth of your
father." The Sahaabah were furious at the man and step forward to
discipline him for what he said. Rasul Allah commanded everyone
toleave him.
Then by the hand, Rasul Allah took him home, opened his door and said,
"Take what you wish and leave what youwish." The man did so and after
he completed, Rasul Allah asked him,"Have I honored you?""Yes, by
Allah,"
said the Bedouin. "Ash hadu an laa ilaaha illa Allah, wa ashhadu anna
Muhammadar Rasul Allah."
When the Sahabah heard of how the man changed, Rasul Allah taught them.
"Verily the example of myself, you and this Bedouin is that of a man
who had his camel run away. The townspeople tried capturing the camel
for him by running and shouting after the camel, only driving it
further away. The man would shout, 'Leave me and my camel,I know my
camel better.'Then he took some grassin his hand, ruffled it in front
of the camel, until it came willingly.
'By Allah, had I left you to this Bedouin, you would have hit him,
hurthim, he would have left without Islam and eventually have entered
hellfire."
