Once upon a time, a trader was coming back home late at night. Suddenly he saw an old,
poor black man preparing to spend the night next to a wall. No one accepted him into their
houses fearing that their children would be scared of him. The trader decided to help him. He
took him into his house, offered him hot soup, gave him clean clothes and a room to stay.
In the middle of the night, the old man sleeping near the window suddenly woke up with
a noise. He saw that two burglars were trying to enter the house through the window.
The black man raised his hands and shouted loudly;
“What are you doing there?”
“Oh my mother! A ghost!” screamed the burglars when they saw the black man in white
pajamas, and they threw themselves from the window. One of them broke his leg and the other
injured his head. Because of the noise, the trader and his family woke up and they captured the
burglars.
How wonderful is the reminder of our Prophet:
“Certainly Allah helps His servant, as long as he helps his brother!”
