Story of "The Kindness of Rasool (ﷺ)" for Students

 The Kindness of Rasool (ﷺ)

Once the Rasool (ﷺ) went out on a journey along with some of his companions. Birds were singing and chirping joyfully. One of the companions of the Rasool (ﷺ) saw a nest in a bush. It was the nest of sparrows and there were two sparrow chicks in it. He picked up the young sparrow. All at once the sparrows came crying and began to fly over his head. The Rasool (ﷺ) asked his companion why the sparrows were circling over his head. He told Rasool (ﷺ) that he had removed their young ones from their nest.

The Rasool (ﷺ) was greatly moved. He (ﷺ) felt sorry for the poor little birds and advised his companion to put back the baby sparrow in its nest at once, which he did. The sparrows felt happy and cried no more.

The Rasool (ﷺ) was kind and affectionate not only to human beings but also to all creatures of the universe. For this very reason Allah Almighty was pleased to bestow upon him (ﷺ) the title of 'Benefactor of all the worlds.'

The Rasool (ﷺ) also said, “Allah will not be kind to him who is not kind to others.”
