Character of a Sahabi...

In the time(caliphate) of Umar ibn al Khattab , there was a sahabi  who migrated to a place called Hims, in Syria (now known as Hums).
Narrations mention that this sahabi opened a shop.
One day a Christian came to this shop to buy something. The sahabi  said ’you know across the road is a shop of a Christian.I have been watching since morning and no one has come into his shop. Alhamdulillah, i have enough to feed my children, so why don’t you go to his shop and buy from him..’
So this Christian goes to the Christians shop and after a while he returns to the sahabi’s shop. The sahabi  asks,’did you not get what you wanted?’.
The Christian said, ‘i got what i wanted but i want something else.'
The Sahabi  asked, ‘what is it?’
The Christian replies, ‘ I want this faith that you have’
The Sahabi  :‘Why? You know these are things that you don’t rush. Take your time over.'
The Christian said,’No, no, no. My heart bears witness that if this is the character of a mere companion of the Prophet , then what must have been the character of the Prophet , himself.’
And then the Christian embraced Islam.

 Hadhrat Junaid Baghdadi {Rahmatullah Alayh} once said:  

"BLINDNESS is better for the EYE which does NOT derive lesson from the creation of Allah Ta'ala.  

DUMBNESS is better for the TONGUE which does NOT make the Thikr of Allah Ta'ala.  

DEAFNESS is better for the EAR which does NOT listen to the truth  & DEATH is better for the BODY which does NOT worship Allah Ta'ala....
