TIADA ALASAN UNTUK TIDAK BELAJAR

-

Zaman 60an dan 70an memang susah untuk mencari tenaga pembimbing mengenai agama Islam. Ini kerana pada ketika itu tenaga pembimbing amat kurang sehinggakan kerajaan terpaksa mencari pendakwah dari Indonesia. Tetapi hari ini, zaman dah jauh berubah kerana pendidikan agama mudah didapati di sekolah tadika sehinggalah ke universiti. Malah masjid dan surau-surau sudah lama membuka kelas-kelas agama disamping ceramah harian. Dengan kemudahan ini maka tiada alasan lagi bagi seseorang muslim untuk tidak mengetahui ajaran Islam.

-

Ramai yang mengetahui ini cuma kaki-kaki mereka agak berat melangkah ke masjid dan surau-surau untuk menimba ilmu. Mungkin belum mendapat taufik dan hidayah. Dalam kelas muqaddam yang saya anjurkan selama empat tahun di Masjid Negeri Sabah, saya merumuskan empat sebab utama kenapa taufiq dan hidayah belum meresap dalam sanubari umat islam. Pertama, pengaruh keluarga. Kalau keluarga itu kaki 'karoke' maka karokelah suasana rumah mereka. Kedua, pengaruh rakan-rakan. Kalau kawan-kawan kaki 'golf' maka banyaklah masa di padang golf setiap hujung minggu. Ketiga pengaruh di sekeliling. Kalau di sekelilingnya tiada suasana belajar maka 'mood' mereka pun sama. Keempat sikap diri sendiri. Di antara kempat-empat sebab di atas, sikap diri sendiri sangat mempengaruhi. Apabila sikap tidak berubah maka jadilah seseorang itu 'stagnant' secara berterusan. Biar pun rumahnya di hadapan surau, kakinya tidak boleh melangkah ke surau. Sikap seperti ini menyebabkan mereka tidak mendapat taufik walaupun mereka tahu solat berjemaah itu banyak pahala.

-

Akibat daripada ketiadaan taufik dan hidayah maka timbullah pelbagai masalah sosial termasuk maksiat. Sila baca artikel di bawah sebagai iktibar.

THE DEAD SEA & PROPHET LOT

-
Prophet Lut (Lot):

According to Islamic and Biblical traditions, the Dead Sea is the site of the ancient city of Sodom, home of the Prophet Lut (Lot), peace be upon him. The Qur'an describes the people of Sodom as ignorant, wicked, evildoers who rejected God's call to righteousness. The people were murderers, thiefs, and openly practiced immoral sexual behavior. Lut perservered in preaching God's message, but found that even his own wife was one of the disbelievers.

Punishment:

God's severely punished the people of this region for their wickedness. According to the Qur'an, the punishment was to "turn the cities upside down, and rain down on them brimstones hard as baked clay, spread layer on layer, marked from your Lord" (Qur'an 11:82-83). The site of this punishment is now the Dead Sea, standing as a symbol of destruction.

AMERIKA JAGUH HUMAN RIGHTS?

-
Iraq needs US help to beat huge refugee crisis: study
by Karin Zeitvogel Karin Zeitvogel – Wed Mar 17

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The United States has a "special responsibility" to help Iraq address a dire humanitarian crisis that sees huge numbers of displaced Iraqis struggle to survive, an aid group said Wednesday.

In a report released on the eve of the seventh anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq, Refugees International said 33 percent -- or 500,000 people -- of the 1.5 million internally displaced people forced from their homes in 2006 and 2007 "live as squatters in slum areas."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Akibat serangan Amerika yang menawan Iraq, maka lebih setengah juta rakyat Iraq sekarang menjadi pelarian di negara sendiri. Mereka tinggal di khemah-khemah sementara menghadapi krisis kekurangan air dan makanan. Ramai kanak-kanak tidak dapat meneruskan pembelajaran mereka di sekolah. Inilah antara dosa besar Amerika terhadap rakyat Iraq yang dikutuk oleh dunia dan dilaknat serta bakal menerima balasan dari Allah.

-

Persoalannya:

-

Dimana sudah pendokong hak asasi kemanusiaan (human rights) Amerika yang lantang bersuara? Kenapa mereka 'membisu' dengan krisis yang melanda Iraq? Agak memalukan bila Amerika menyentuh pasal 'human rights' merekalah jaguh tetapi human rights Iraq mereka tidak lantang bersuara!.

BERDAKWAH DENGAN PENDAKWAH DARI AMERIKA (USA)

-

11.03.2010

-

Kota Kinabalu: Dua hari sebelum tarikh taklimat, saya menerima panggilan dari encik Joel, warga Amerika yang fasih berbahasa melayu. Inilah kali kedua encik Joel membawa pelancung dari USA untuk mendapatkan taklimat (dalam bahasa Inggeris) mengenai Islam.

Atas: Foto pelancung dari USA bergambar beramai-ramai dengan saya setelah selesai mendengar taklimat mengenai dengan Islam di masjid negeri Sabah.

Atas: Pelancung dari USA mendengar dengan teliti segala taklimat yang disampaikan oleh Janis Abdullah

Atas: Pelancung dari USA turut bertanyakan soalan sensasi kepada Janis Abdullah. Antara soalannya... adakah semua orang islam akan masuk syurga? Apa pandangan kamu mengenai erti 'kafir' (infidels)? Kenapa wanita Islam memakai tudung? Kenapa lelaki Islam tidak boleh solat bersama-sama dengan wanita? Apa itu jihad? Banyak juga soalan yang 'provokatif' namun saya cukup bersedia berhadapan dengan soalan mencabar.

Atas: Inilah wajah-wajah pelancung yang meminta saya memberikan taklimat.

-

Dari pengamatan saya, mereka bukan sekadar pelancung tetapi merupakan pendakwah terlatih yang mempunyai misi tersendiri.
-
Misi saya pula ialah 'nak membuang tag terrorism pada islam yang mereka ciptakan' untuk menghalalkan serangan ke atas umat islam di dunia. Disamping itu, saya juga memperbetulkan persepsi negatif tergadap islam serta menjawab salah-faham (misconceptions) barat terhadap islam. Alhamdulillah, misi itu dapat dilaksanakan dengan jayanya berkat dari ilmu yang Allah kurniakan semasa saya berkursus tiga minggu di Bahrain pada April hingga Mei tahun 2009.

-

Kursus saya di Bahrain adalah atas biayaan sendiri serta tajaan dari kerajaan Bahrain. Sebenarnya saya sangat berharap agar Jabatan Agama Islam samada negeri atau persekutuan memberi sedikit sumbangan membantu saya merelisasi impian saya menjadi seorang pendakwah antarabangsa yang benar-benar terlatih. Malangnya belum ada rezki. Walau bagaimanapun, saya tidak putus asa dan dan akhirnya saya berjaya juga menembusi negara luar dengan biaya sendiri. Ilmu yang ditimba sangat berguna untuk perkembangan dakwah islamiah di Sabah. Saya bersyukur kerana apa yang saya pelajari di Bahrain dapat saya salurkan kepada kira-kira 100 orang pelajar saya yang belajar mengaji dengan saya.

-

Saya juga menfaatkan ilmu itu untuk berdakwah dengan pelancung setiap hari. Insyaa Allah, saya mengharapkan ada peluang-peluang yang diberikan oleh kerajaan Malaysia untuk berkursus lagi di luar negara di masa akan datang untuk lebih mempertajamkan lagi kemahiran saya berdakwah kepada non-muslim professional dalam bahasa inggeris.

-
Allahyarham Abdul Rahman adalah saudara ayah saya yang banyak menyimpan rahsia perjuangan ayah saya termasuklah rahsia pembunuhan ramai tentera Jepun di Tambunan, Keningau dan Beaufort dengan cara mereka tersendiri. Setelah ayahanda saya meninggal dunia, rahsia ini terbongkar. Setiap kali saya berkunjung ke rumah Abdul Rahman di Kg Masjid Keningau, Abdul Rahman akan melinangkan air mata dan menangis melihat saya. Bila saya tanya, beliau menceritakan rahsia itu kepada saya. Apakah rahsia itu? Jawabnya: Strategi membunuh Jepun tanpa menggunakan senjata. Insyaa Allah... akan diceritakan di siri yang lain.

Holy Prophet’s Miracles – Part 13

-
Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam)’s Miracles – Part 13

-
The character and conduct of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam), his actions, his habits, management of affairs, his treatment with the different classes of people, him showing the straight path to them, his wonderful answers to different difficult and subtle questions, his untiring efforts for the good of people, his good guidance regarding the open laws of Shariat all these matters lead one to the conclusion that these were beyond the power of a man without help of an unseen hand. It is impossible on the part of a hypocrite or a liar. The people testified by seeing his constitution and qualifications that he was a great truthful man sent by Allah.

Allah gave him these qualities though he was illiterate and had no education and lived always with the illiterate Arabs. Being illiterate, orphan and weak, how could he acquire such good character and conduct, such knowledge about Allah without worldly knowledge? His true and correct knowledge about the earlier Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) show that he is a true messenger of Allah, because he knew these truths by revelations. How could he know what was beyond man unless he received revelation? His miracles prove that he is a true Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) of Allah.

Some of his Miracles with Help of Allah

(1) When the Quraish of Mecca told the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) to divide the moon into two parts, the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) invoked Allah who split the moon into two portions and it was clearly visible to the people present.

(2) At the time of the siege of Medinah by the allied armies for more than one month, the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) supplied provision to all the people.

(3) At another time, he satisfied eighty people with food with only four muds of maize and one little goat.

(4) Once the daughter of Basher had a few dried grapes with which the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) fed all his soldiers to their satisfaction and there remained also something in excess.

(5) Once water began to gush forth from the fingers of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam), so much so that his soldiers drank to their hearts content and also made ablution therewith.

(6) Once there was no water in a well at Tabuk and it dried up. The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) threw a little water from his ablution to the well and immediately it gushed forth so profuse water that thousands of soldiers drank it to their satisfaction.

(7) At another time, there was no water in a well at Hudaibiyah. The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) threw the remaining ablution water into it which immediately gushed forth abundant water. Fifteen hundred men drank it to their satisfaction.

(8) Once the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) threw a handful of dust towards the faces of his enemies as a result of which they instantly became blind. Soon after this verse was revealed: When you throw, you did not throw, but Allah threw it.

(9) The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) used to deliver sermon standing on the trunk of a palm tree in the mosque, when it was replaced by another, the trunk began to emit mild sound which was heard by all his companions. When he touched it with his hand, it became calm.

(10) Once the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) told the Jews to make Mobahala (that is whoever is a liar, he will die), but the Jews gave the news next morning that they feared to make it for fear of their lives. This is mentioned in the Quran.

(11) The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) warned Osman (Radhiallahho Anho) of a great danger as a result of which he would enter paradise. History bears testimony that he was murdered in his very house while he was reading the Quran. The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) told Ammer that a rebellious party would kill Osman. It is true that they murdered him.

(12) Once a man joined Jihad in the way of Allah. The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said about him that he would enter Hell. Then it was seen that he committed suicide.

(13) When the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) was on his way towards Medina on migration, one Suraqa-b-Malek was following him to capture him in expectation of a reward, but the feet of his horse was sunk in dust in the act. When he sought the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam)’s help to escape from the danger, he prayed for him. This continued for three times and the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) prayed for him each time. After being released for the third time, the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) gave him this prophecy in his almost helpless condition, that he would soon wear the bangles of Persian King Khosroe. After the conquest of Persia by the Muslims, these bangles were procured from the kind and were given to him for wearing.

(14) Aswad Ansari was a liar and claimed prophethood during the life time of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam). He was a resident of Sana’a in Yemen. One night he was found assassinated in that town. In that very night, the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) gave his death news to the people and he named Feroze Daifami as his murderer.

(15) During the night of migration to Medina, one hundred Quraish surrounded the house of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) to kill him, but he went out of their clutches throwing dust on their heads for which they could not see him going out.

(16) Once the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) gave the prophecy to some of his companions: The last man among you will die of arson. It after wards occurred that it came true.

(17) Once the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) called two trees to cover him to give him the opportunity of urinating. The two trees shifted from their sites, covered him from public view and went away to their old sits after he finished his call of nature.

(18) The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) was of middle stature, but when he walked, two long men by his sides, he was seen the longest of them.

(19) The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said: I will kill Abu-b-Hani in the battle of Uhud. In the battle, the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) inflicted a minor injury on him and as a result he expired.

(20) Once the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) was given food mixed with poison to eat. He who ate it first expired, but the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) lived for four years even after taking that food. That food told the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam): There is poison in me.

(21) In the battle of Badr, the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) mentioned the fate of the leaders of the Quraish. This happened exactly as he said.

(22) The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said to his daughter Fatema: You will meet me first after my death. She died six months after the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam).

(23) Once the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said to his wives: She who is longer in hand will meet me first after my death. Jainab (Radhiallahho Anha) was the most charitable among his wives and she died first after the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam).

(24) A certain camel had not milk in its udder. As soon as the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) touched its udder, it began to give milk. Abdullah-b-Mausd embraced Islam on seeing this miracle of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam).

(25) Once one eye of a companion went out of its socket. The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) restored it to its site and his eye sight increased more.

(26) The greatest living miracle of the Holy Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) is the Quran which stands even today. He threw challenge to the people to produce a chapter like it. The Quran says: Say, if jinn and mankind gather together to bring a book like this Quran, they won't be able to bring like it even though they help one another. So nobody was successful to bring a book or even a sentence like it, up to this time. This alone is a sufficient and living testimony that the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) Muhammad (peace be upon Him) is a true messenger of Allah.

Holy Prophet’s Figure and Constitution – Part 12

-
Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam)’s Figure and Constitution –Part 12
-

The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) was neither long stature nor short. When he walked alone, he appeared like a middle stature man. If a man of long stature walked with him, his figure looked longer. When two men of long stature walked by his two sides, he appeared longest, but when they became separate from him, the people called them long men. The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) was of middle stature. He was pretty, neither too white, nor too brown. He was of pure reddish hue. Some one praised him saying. His limbs which confronted the sun, such as face and neck, appeared more whitish than reddish colour. The sweats of his face were like pearls and more perfumed than musk. His hair was very pretty, neither straight nor curly. When he combed them, they appeared like lines in sands. It is said that his hair was kept flowing up to his shoulders, sometimes he parted his hair into four parts and each two parts were let off through his two ears. Sometimes he kept his hair above his ears and his neck then appeared shining like pearls. Grey hairs were found in his head and beard. Their number was not more than seventeen. The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) had a most pretty constitution. Some gave the smile of his beauty to that of the full moon. His forehead was wide and the place between his eyebrows was bright like pure silver and eye-balls were black tinged with reddish hue. The hair of his eye lashes were profuse. His nose was thin and his teeth were neither separated, nor united. When they were exposed at the time of his smile or laugh, they shone like lighting. His lip was most beautiful and the ends of his face was the most soft. His face was smooth and nose not long. His beard was thick and he did not trim it. He used to clip his moustache. His neck was the most beautiful, neither long, nor short. If the rays of the sun fell on his neck, it appeared like a cup of silver mixed with gold. His chest was board. It was even like a mirror and white like the moon light. There was a thin line of hair extending from his chest up to the navel and there was no other hair over his belly. There were three lines in his belly. His apparel covered one line. His shoulders were wide and there was hair over them. The place between his shoulders was wide and therein there was impression or seal of prophethood inclined a little towards the right shoulder. There was a spot mixed with black and yellow colours. There was hair around it which appeared like the hair of a horse. He had hands full of flesh and his fingers were like silver sticks and his palms were softer than wool and were so full of scent that it seemed that otto was applied to them. Sweet scent was attached to the hand of a person who handshake with the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam). If his pure hand touched the head of a boy, he could be recognized among boys owing to the sweet scent of his hand. His thighs were full of flesh and his constitution was proportionate and beautiful. In his latter days, he became rather fleshy but he was without grease like his first stage of life.

The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) walked firmly and steadily. He said: concerning constitution I am similar to Adam but in character and conduct I am similar to Abraham. He said: I have got ten names near my Lord, (1) Muhammad (praised), (2) Ahmad (most praised), (3) Maui (remover of infidelity), (4) Aqeb (coming last), (5) Hasher (all appearing after me), (6) messenger of mercy, (7) messenger of repentance, (8) messenger of fights, (9) Muqfi (last of all prophets) and (10) Qasem (embodiment of all virtues).

Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam)’s Modesty and Humility – Part 11

Inspite of the lofty position of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam), he was the most humble and modest. Ibn Amer (Radhiallahho Anho) reported: I saw the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) throwing stones at Jamrah riding on a camel. There was no assault in it, no driving out and no saying: Go aside, go aside. He sat on a sheet of cloth on the back of a mule and took someone behind him. He used to visit the sick, follow the biers, accept invitations of servants and slaves, repair shoes and sew garments. He used to help his family members in their household duties. His companions used not to stand up in his honour as they know his dislike for it. He used to salute the children when passing by them.

One day a man was brought to the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) and he was afraid to see him. The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said: Be quiet, I am not a king. I am a son of an humble Quraish woman who used to eat gourd. He used to sit with his companions like an ordinary man. Whenever any stranger came to see him, he could not at first recognize him till he was introduced to him. Ayesha (Radhiallahho Anha) said: May Allah sacrifice me to you, eat learning as it easier for you. The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) leaned towards the ground so much that it seemed that his head would touch the ground. He used to say: I shall take meal like the eating of a slave and sit like the sitting of a slave. He used not to eat in plates while he lived.

Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam)’s Bravery and Heroism - Part 10
-

The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) was the greatest hero and brave man. Ali (Radhiallahho Anho) said: In the battle of Badr, we all stood surrounding the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam). He braved the enemies and we found him bravest on that day. He said: When fight began and friends and foes met with one another, we feared for the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) as he was closest to the enemies. Nobody went so near the enemies than him. When he passed order for fighting, he got pleased and prepared himself. He was seen at that time most superior in strength. Imran (Radhiallahho Anho) said: The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) attacked the enemy who came to him first. The companions said that the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) had then a firm hold on the enemy. In the battle of Hunain, when the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) was surrounded by the enemies, he alighted from his mule and said: I am surely the Messenger of Allah. There is no untruth in it. I am the descendant of Abdul Muttableb. He was on that day the bravest of all.

Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam)’s Generosity – Part 9
-

The Holy Prophet was the greatest charitable man. His charity during Ramadan was greatest. Nothing could prevent him from it. Ali (Radhiallahho Anho) narrated the qualities of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) and said: His hand of charity of spread to its utmost and his tongue was the most truthful. His conduct was the most modest and he was the most honourable in lineage. Fear struck one who saw him first. Whoever mixed with him loved him. One who praised man begged something to the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) in the name of Islam and it was given to him. He begged him something further and it was also given to him, and that was one flock of sheep which were grazing between two hillocks. He went to his people and said: Accept Islam because Muhammad gives so much that he does not fear poverty for that. He did never deprive one who begged something from him.

Once 10,000 dirhams were brought to the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) which he distributed among his companions. After that, a man came to him and begged him something. He said: I have got now nothing, but still I am giving you something after purchasing it. It was done accordingly. Omar (Radhiallahho Anho) said: O Messenger of Allah, Allah has not imposed burden on you over which you have got no control. His words did not appear pleasing to the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam). That man said: Spend and do not fear poverty from Allah. The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) then smiled and pleasure was visible in his face. Once when he returned from the battlefield of Hunain, the desert Arabs came to him and begged from him so much that he was compelled to take shelter to a corner of a tree. They caught his sheet and he said: Give back my sheet to me. Had I had sheep to the number of these thorny plants, I would have distributed them all to you and you would not have found me a miser or a coward.

Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam)’s Objects of Dislike - Part 8
-

The skin of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) was thin and his interior and exterior were clean. His pleasure and wrath were exposed in his face. When he got very angry, he used to touch his head repeatedly. He used not to disclose to anybody what appeared to him bad. One day a man dyed his body with yellow colour came to the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam). He dislike it but did not say anything till he went. When he departed, he said to the people: If this man is asked to give up yellow colour, it would be better. Once a desert Arab passed water in presence of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) within the mosque. The companions were about to assault him when the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said to him: These mosque are not for passing urine and for uncleanness.

Once a desert Arab came to the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) and begged something from him. He gave it to him and said: I have treated well with you. The desert Arab said: Never, you have not treated well with me. At this, the companions got angry but the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) prohibited them to do any harm to him. Then he went to his room and brought something for him to eat and said: I have done you benefit. Then he said: May Allah bless your family and relatives. The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said to him: What you said first seemed unpleasant to my companions. If you like, say to them what you have said to me just now. What is in their mind will then vanish. He said: I shall say it to them. At another time, when the desert Arab came, the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said: I added what the desert Arab told me. It seemed to me that he was pleased with it. I asked him: Are you satisfied: Yes, may Allah bless your family and relatives. The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said: The smile of the desert Arab in relation to me is like that of a man who had a camel which went out. It went faster fearing the people who followed it. The driver of the camel hinted: You all go away and leave the camel and myself alone. I know it better and shall show kindness to it. The driver of the camel gave it some food and called it towards him. When it came, he loaded it and rode upon it. When the desert Arab used harsh words, he would have entered Hell had I not prohibited you to take revenge upon him and assault him.
