Betapa mulianya hati Rasulullah

Rasulullah Dan Seorang Pengemis Yahudi Buta


Di sudut pasar Madinah ada seorang pengemis Yahudi buta yang setiap harinya selalu berkata kepada setiap orang yang mendekatinya, "Jangan dekati Muhammad, dia itu orang gila, dia itu pembohong, dia itu tukang sihir, apabila kalian mendekatinya maka kalian akan dipengaruhinya."

Namun, setiap pagi Muhammad Rasulullah saw mendatanginya dengan membawakan makanan. Tanpa berucap sepatah kata pun, Rasulullah menyuapkan makanan yang dibawanya kepada pengemis itu, sedangkan pengemis itu tidak mengetahui bahwa yang menyuapinya itu adalah Rasulullah Muhammad—orang yang selalu ia caci maki dan sumpah serapahi.

Rasulullah saw melakukan hal ini setiap hari sampai beliau wafat.

Setelah wafatnya Rasulullah saw praktis tidak ada lagi orang yang membawakan makanan setiap pagi kepada pengemis Yahudi buta itu.

Suatu hari Abubakar berkunjung ke rumah anaknya Aisyah, yan g tidak lain tidak bukan merupakan istri Rasulullah. Ia bertanya kepada anaknya itu, "Anakku, adakah kebiasaan Rasulullah yang belum aku kerjakan?"

Aisyah menjawab, "Wahai ayah, engkau adalah seorang ahli sunnah dan hampir tidak ada satu kebiasaannya pun yang belum ayah lakukan kecuali satu saja."

“Apakah Itu?" tanya Abubakar penasaran. Ia kaget juga karena merasa sudah mengetahui bagaimana kebiasaan Rasulullah semasa hidupnya.

"Setiap pagi Rasulullah selalu pergi ke ujung pasar dengan membawakan makanan untuk seorang pengemis Yahudi buta yang ada di sana," kata Aisyah.

Keesokan harinya Abubakar RA pergi ke pasar dengan membawa makanan untuk diberikan kepada pengemis itu. Abubakar mendatangi pengemis itu lalu memberikan makanan itu kepadanya. Ketika Abubakar mulai menyuapinya, si pengemis marah sambil menghardik, "Siapakah kamu ?"

Abubakar menjawab, "Aku orang yang biasa."

"Bukan! Engkau bukan ora ng yang biasa mendatangiku," bantah si pengemis buta itu dengan ketus "Apabila ia datang kepadaku tidak susah tangan ini memegang dan tidak susah mulut ini mengunyah. Orang yang biasa mendatangiku itu selalu menyuapiku, tapi terlebih dahulu dihaluskannya makanan tersebut setelah itu ia berikan padaku."

Abubakar tidak dapat menahan air matanya, ia menangis sambil berkata kepada pengemis itu, "Aku memang bukan orang yang biasa datang padamu. Aku adalah salah seorang dari sahabatnya. Orang yang mulia itu telah tiada. Ia adalah Muhammad Rasulullah saw."

Seketika itu juga kaget pengemis itu. Ia pun menangis mendengar penjelasan Abubakar, dan kemudian berkata, "Benarkah demikian? Selama ini aku selalu menghinanya, memfitnahnya, ia tidak pernah memarahiku sedikitpun. Ia mendatangiku dengan membawa makanan setiap pagi, ia begitu mulia.... " Pengemis Yahudi buta tersebut akhirnya bersyahadat di hadapan Abubakar saat itu juga dan sejak hari itu menjadi Muslim. (sa/ts-rnjmt)

Are you a teacher?

A HATED TREE AND STUDENTS
(by Ahmad)


The tree I want to tell you grew fertilely and produced a lot of fruit. It was planted right in front of my house. It usually gave fruit in August and sometimes a little fruit in another month.
The last month before the tree died it was extremely hated by the people living near my house because of the position of the tree. It was considered to disturb them. Firstly, it made the yard of their house dirty and they could not park their cars easily.
The tree “heard” the people around it shout every time and at last it became sick. Little by little the leaves got dry and in the long run, it died.
According to the research conducted in Japan, water can respond what human beings do to the water. When people do something good its molecules form a wonderful picture. On the contrary, it makes a terrible order.
It was understandable that the tree died caused by the people around it hated it very much. It had been considered to be useless to live.
Similarly, students need teachers’ appreciation and love although they act as if they did not have any motivation at all to learn. Students’ behavior is able to change depending on how the teachers approach them and how much love they give to them.

Story

The Frog in the Well
There was a frog that lived in a shallow well.
" Look how well off I am here ! " he told a big turtle from the Eastern Ocean. " I can hop along the coping of the well when I go out, and rest by a crevice in the bricks on my return. I can wallow to my heart's content with only my head above water, or stroll ankle deep through soft mud. No crabs or tadpoles can compare with me. I am master of the water and lord of this shallow well, What more can a fellow ask ? Why don't you come here more often to have a good time ? "
Before the turtle from the Eastern Ocean could get his left foot into the well, however, he caught his right calw on something. So he halted and stepped back then began to describe the ocean to the frog.
" It's more than a thousand miles across and more than ten thousand feet deep. In ancient times there were floods nine years out of ten yet the water in the ocean never increased.
And later there were droughts seven years out of eight yet the water in the ocean never grew less. It has remained quite constant throughout the ages. That is why I like to live in the Eastern Ocean. "
Then the frog in the shallow well was silent and felt a little abashed.


abashed If you are abashed, you feel embarrassed and ashamed.
