Don't talk to me Muhammed (PBUH) -Malayalam

this video from
Shymaa Helal


This nasheed by brother Dawud Wharnsby describes the conversation between an old lady and the Prophet of Islam. Subtitling in English and Malayalam.This conversation was based upon a hadith in the Prophetic literature, and Dawud Wharnsby Ali made a song out of it, where I first learned of this conversation. Almost every time I hear the song, tears roll down my face. In the song, after the woman utters the shahadah, she says,"Oh, talk to me, Muhammad. Upon you I pray for peace/for you have eased my troubled mind. Oh, talk to me, Muhammad. And as we walk along together/we will get along just fine. As I travel down life's road/I will get along, just fine."This story never ceases to amaze me. The Prophet (pbuh) offered to help this woman, and all she does throughout their encounter is to mock and malign the Prophet (pbuh). Yet, he says nothing. He continues to help the woman with her load. He does not lash back at her; he does not pray for God's destruction upon her; he does not drop her stuff and let her fend for herself. No. He helps the woman anyway, and when she finds out who he is, all she could do was follow him into Islam.Yet, the fact that she became Muslim is not the most important aspect of this story for me. It was the Prophet's character that amazed me the most. It is this aspect of the Prophet's sunnah that many of us have completely neglected.
