| (1) Islaamic History |
Rasulullaah (SAW) in the cave of Thowr |
| The Mushrikeen were searching desperately for Rasulullaah (SAW) and Hadhrat Abu Bakr (RA) as the two hid in the cave of Thowr. In fact, they were right at the entrance of the cave when Hadhrat Abu Bakr(RA) grew worried for the safety of Rasulullaah (SAW). It was then that Rasulullaah (SAW) told him, “Never fear because Allaah is with us.” Allaah ensured that they remained safe and the Mushrikeen left without seeing them. Hadhrat Abu Bakr (RA) had instructed his son to listen to the plotting of the Mushrikeen in Makkah during the day and report everything to him by night at the cave. At the same time, he carried food to them. In this manner, they spent three days in the cave. |
| (2) Rasulullaah (SAW)’s Miracle |
Rasulullaah (SAW) informs about two camels |
After the Battle of Banu Mustaliq, Hadhrat Juwayriyyah (RA) became a prisoner of the Muslims. Her father wanted to buy her freedom and therefore brought some camels to Rasulullaah (SAW) as ransom. However, he secretly left two of the camels tied in the Valley of Aqeeq because he loved them and did not want to part with them. When he came before Rasulullaah (SAW) with his request, Rasulullaah (SAW) asked, “Why do you not bring those two camels as well which you love so dearly and have left tied up?” Upon hearing this, he immediately declared that Rasulullaah (SAW) must certainly be a Nabi of Allaah because no one else knew about the two camels. He then accepted Islaam.

Abstinence from harmful foods |
Rasulullaah (SAW) was once with Hadhrat Ali (RA) at Hadhrat Ummu Mundhir (RA)’s house when they were served some dates. When he had some, Rasulullaah (SAW) said to Hadhrat Ali (RA), “Enough now Ali! You are still weak (recovering from your illness).” When Hadhrat Ummu Mundhir (RA) then served them a dish with beetroot and barley, Rasulullaah (SAW) said to Hadhrat Ali (RA), “O Ali! Eat this because it is good for you.”
[Abu Dawood 3856]
This dish consisting of beetroot with barley is extremely beneficial for people who are recovering from their illnesses and need to gain strength. |
