“It is strange that you are defending Muhammad”

Reading Time: < 1 minute

A group of sixty people, unaware of the great event, which was
going to bring another glory in the history of Islam, started to move towards
Medina the city of Holy Messenger of God.

On the way towards Medina the camel, which Bishop Abu Haaris was riding
on along with his brother, suddenly slipped and fell. Brother of Haaris who
reckoned Holy Prophet to be the cause of all these difficulties and problems
started to curse him. Abu Haaris became angry of this and returned back the same curse to his brother. With great astonishment brother of Haaris said: “It is strange that you are defending Muhammad”!

Abu Harris in reply said: “ He is the same Prophet which Massiah has given
glad tidings about his coming. “Brother of Abu Haaris asked with greater
astonishment: “Then why don’t you bring faith in him?”

Poor Abu Haaris who had sold religion for this world and had become a captive of the apparent manifestations and deceit of this world replied: “Don’t you know that these people who have honored us and brought our comfort with their money and wealth will not be satisfied except by opposing him! (i.e. the Prophet)

Brother of Abu Haaris pondered over these talks until he escaped from his
nation and joined the Muslims and narrated this incident to them.
