Imam
Hasan (A) and his Slave
Once a maid of our
2nd Imam, Imam Hasan (A) dropped a hot bowl of soup on Imam (A).
She was very scared
because she thought the Imam (A) would be angry and punish her.
She immediately
recited the Ayah:"..Those who control (their) anger.."
Imam Hasan (A)
smiled and said he was not angry.
Then she recited the
next part of the Ayah:"..And are forgiving towards people.."
Imam Hasan (A) said
he had forgiven her.
She then finished
the Ayah :"..Allah loves those who do good.."
Imam Hasan (A) told
her she was free.
The above Ayah is
from the Holy Qur'an:Surah Aali Imraan (3), verse 134.
Moral:
The Holy Qur'an is
not just there to read but to learn from and act upon. It is the word of
Allah and teaches us everything we need to know if only we understood
it. |
