Prophet Isa (pbuh) asked Allah who was the most nearest to
him on the earth at that moment and Allah gave him the
directions where he could find her. Allah called her a
Mu’mina.
Her mark was that she was a remembering ‘abidah of Allah.
He finds her. She is a being without legs, arms, and eyes.
Homeless and destitute, she is left at the mercy of the passers
by to give her something to survive on.
Yet with her tongue, she is busy thanking Allah, and praising
Him calling out, “ Ya Allah! Alhamdulillah. You have granted
me so much, how will I ever thank You. You have granted me
what You have not granted so many more. Why? I don’t
know. It is only a display of Your grace. Alhamdulillah….”
Prophet Isa (pbuh) greets her and she responds back with a
better greeting, addressing him as Rooh Allah. He is
perplexed.
He asks her, O’ Mu’mina! What is it that Allah has granted you
that you are so thankful for? Surely Allah is gracious. But in
your case, one might see how much Allah has not given you. “
“O Rooh Allah” she responds. “He has granted me His
remembrance. He has withheld from me feet that would walk
on the path of haaram. He has withheld from me hands that would act on haram. He has withheld from me eyes that
would glance at Haram. Yet I do recognise you without their
aid. And my tongue, He has occupied with His praise. Alhamdulillah.
Tell me how many has He blessed as such?”
