Psychology or the maturity of a
person was always a factor, which played a part in the teachings of the Prophet
(S). Once a Bedouin came to the Prophet (S) to learn the religion. There in
order to respond to the call of nature, the man urinated right inside the
Mosque. The man would have fled, had the Prophet (S) admonished him. Instead,
he softly advised him not to urinate inside the Mosque as it was a holy place
of worship. On the other hand when something unexpected happened from a person
of high stature, the Prophet (S) showed his displeasure. Once a man abused
Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (R ) twice, but Hazrat Siddiq (R ) kept quite. However,
when the man continued his abuse a third time, Hazrat Siddiq (R ) could not
control his anger and replied to the man same way. At his reply, the face of
the Prophet (S ) became red, and he left
the place. He showed his anger, as he had not expected a person like Hazrat
Siddiq ( R) to adopt abusive words.
The Prophet (S) quite often would
explain his point with suitable example. People, at that time, would demand
back their gifts from their friends or relatives, if something undesirable to
them happened from their friends or relatives. To eradicate this type of
behavior, the Prophet (S ) gave them an example. He said, “ To take back your
given gifts is like to eat back your vomit”. After listening to this example,
who would like to demand back his given gift?
