Every day, Hazrat Abu Dujana (Raziyallahu Ta’ala Anhu) tried to perform the Fajr prayer following the Messenger of God Allaah, but immediately after the prayer, he would leave the mosque. One day the Messenger of Allaah (Peace Be Upon Him) stopped Hazrat Abu Dujana (Raziyallahu Anhu) and asked:
O Abudjana! Do you not need anything from Allah?
So Hazrat Abu Dujana said: Why not, O Messenger of Allaah, I cannot be away from Allah even for a moment.
The Messenger of Allaah, may God Allaah bless him and grant him peace, began to say, “Then why don’t you wait with us for the prayer to end, and why don’t you pray to Allah for your needs?”
Hazrat Abu Dujana said, O Messenger of Allaah! Actually, the reason for this is that there is a Jew living in my neighborhood, whose palm tree branches hang in the yard of my house, and when the wind blows at night, his dates fall into our house. I leave early so that I can pick those fallen dates before my empty-bellied children wake up and return them to the Jew, lest they eat those dates due to the severity of hunger.
Then Hazrat Abu Dujana took an oath and said, O Messenger of Allaah, peace be upon him! One day I saw my son chewing a fallen date, before he could swallow it, I put my finger down his throat and pulled out the date. .
Messenger of Allaah ﷺ! When my son started crying, I said, “O my child, I am ashamed to stand before Allaah as a thief on the Day of Resurrection.”
Hazrat Sayyidna Abu Bakr Siddique (Raziyallahu Ta’ala Anhu) was standing next to him and listening to all this, the spirit of faith and the brotherhood of Islam was excited, so he went to that Jew and bought a whole palm tree from him and gave it to Hazrat Abu Dujana (Raziyallahu Ta’ala Anhu) and his children. Who gave it as a gift. Glory be to God
Then why does not Allaah subhanahu wa ta’ala issue this document about those holy persons:
May Allaah be pleased with them and be pleased with him
“Allaah was pleased with them and they were pleased with Allaah-“
A few days later, when the Jew found out about all this incident, he gathered all his family members, and went to the Messenger of Allaah, peace and blessings be upon him, and announced that he had become a Muslim. (Referring to Ibn Sa’d’s Al-Tabaqaab al-Kubra)
