Mohammad The Father of Orphans

Mohammad
The Father of Orphans

Muhammad (peace be upon him) loved all children. He wanted them all to be happy and merry.

Once
on the day of Ramadan Feast, He was walking in the city of Medina and
the children around him were playing and laughing. They were in new
clothes. Some had toys in their hands. Some were buying sweets from the
small shops. Some were running fast in a children's race. Some were
playing with toys like a bow and an arrow. All of them were happy.

Suddenly,
the prophet (peace be upon him) saw a small boy standing alone. He was
thin and weak. His clothes were torn and dirty. He was not playing with
other children. He looked at them with tears in his eyes.

The prophet (peace be upon him) went to him and asked, ِ
''Why are you crying my son?''

''My
father was killed in war.'' Replied the boy. ''My mother has remarried.
Her husband doesn't want me any more. He dismissed me. I lost
everything. I have no house. I have no father. I have no one to care
for me.''

The prophet (peace be upon him) said, ''Would you like
to have a new family? If I take the place of your father, and Ayesha,
my wife, takes the place of your mother, will you be happy again?''

''Oh
yes! Oh yes!'' the boy said happily. So the prophet (peace be upon him)
took him to his house and said to his wife, ''I have brought home a son
for you! Take good care of him!''

Ayesha (may Allah be
pleased with her), the prophet's wife, gave the boy some new clothes to
wear and some good food to eat. She gave him also some money to buy
whatever he wanted. Then she said, ''Go out and play with the other
children. When you are tired, come back here. From now on this will
always be your home.''
