📖 1 min readعن أبي رِفَاعَةَ تَمِيم بن أُسَيدٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: انتهيتُ إلى رسولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو يَخطبُ، فَقُلتُ: يَا رسولَ اللهِ، رَجُلٌ غَريبٌ جاءَ يَسألُ عن دِينِهِ لا يَدرِي مَا دِينُهُ؟ فَأَقْبلَ عليَّ رسولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وتَرَكَ خُطبتَهُ حتى انتَهى إليَّ، فأُتِيَ بكُرسِيٍّ، فَقَعَدَ عليه، وجَعَلَ يُعَلِّمُنِي ممّا عَلَّمَهُ اللهُ، ثم أتى خُطبتَهُ فَأَتَمَّ آخِرَهَا.
An aspect of the humility of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) is shown when a man came to him while he was delivering a sermon and told him that he was a stranger who wished to learn about the religion. The Prophet gave him attention; he stopped his sermon and walked toward him. Then he was brought a chair to sit on, and he started teaching the man, because this man came with a desire to learn his religion in order to act upon it. After teaching him, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) continued his sermon.
