Jaber reports that a man who was both dumb and deaf came to the Holy Prophet (SAW) making gesture with his hand. The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: “Give him a piece of paper to write what he wants.” The man took the paper and wrote on it: “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Mohammad (SAW) is the Messenger of Allah.” At this point, the Holy Prophet (SAW) said: “Write for him something and give him the good tidings of paradise, for, whenever a muslim loses his tongue, his ears, his arms or legs but he is thankful for that affliction and invokes God to give him reward, God will save him from Fire and make him enter paradise.”
