Allah
Will Protect Me
Once Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was taking rest
under a tree when he was returning from an expedition and
hung his sword from the tree. A Non-Muslim person came quietly,
took hold of the sword and, addressing the Prophet said to
him: "O Muhammad! now who will save you from my hand?" The
Prophet heard it, rose up from his seat and said: "Allah will
save me." Hearing the name of Allah, he was overawed and the
sword slipped from his hand. The Prophet rose up from his
place, took the sword into his hand and questioned him: "Now
who will save you from my hand?" He felt sorry and begged
apology. The Prophet forgave him. He was so impressed by this
kindness that he embraced Islam. He then went to his tribesmen
and expressed that he never found a man better than Muhammad
(peace be upon him).
