I am trying to revisit seerah half hour a day and I wanted to share something that makes me bawl like a baby. Here is the story of Abu Bakr (Ψ±ΨΆΩ Ψ§ΩΩΩ ΨΉΩΩ | May Allah be pleased with him) and how he redefined what it means to be a true Friend π
I am going to present to you a scene after fath' Makkah [Conquest of Makkah]
During the conquest of Makkah at the entrance of the prophet ο·Ί, thousands of people were coming to him to embrace Islam.
And amongst those thousands is Abu Bakr (Ψ±ΨΆΩ Ψ§ΩΩΩ ΨΉΩΩ | May Allah be pleased with him). He comes with his father Abu Quhafa - an old man with a white beard and white hair, imagine the old man how heβs walking slowly with a limp and heβs walking to the prophet ο·Ί.
Imagine the state of Abu Bakr's heart as he guides his father towards prophet Muhammad ο·Ί.
Why?
To take shahada and to give Bayah to the prophet.
So when the prophet sees Abu Quhafa he tells, why didnβt you leave the old man in his home I would have come to him.
This is the Nabi of Allah, he just conquered Makkah and yet his priority is to ease an old man's hardship, he is saying to a non-Muslim, I will come to you if you want to accept Islam.
