Taqwa Posted November 9, 2004 Abdullah Ibn Mas'ood: Thin legs Ibn Masoud was not distinguished because of his social status for he was a poor shepherd with no wealth, or because of his physical strength, for he was thin and frail. Yet he was dear and beloved by the Prophet, peace be upon him, who appreciated his sincere devotion and his eagerness for the knowledge of Islam. He once climbed a tree to get a twig for the Prophet, peace be upon him, to use as a miswak. When the Prophet's companions saw his thin legs, they laughed.. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "You laugh at ibn Masoud's legs! They are in the sight of Allah heavier in the Scale than the mountain of Uhud!" ------------------- Mansha'allah there is great benefit in this little piece and some humor. Now lets not make fun of certain brothers, only Allah (SWT) knows whether they are closer to him then us. Your Brother Wa billahi Towfiiq Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
