not to leave him at peace. As
Nabi
Muhammad [s] walk by, some hooli-
gans pelted him with stones, while
others set their dogs at him. And so
the wicked people of Ta'if forced
Prophet Muhammad [s] to leave
their town, hurting and bruised.
Nabi
Muhammad [s] sat under the
shade of a tree in an orchard, some
distance from the town. There were
no feelings of bitterness or anger in
his heart; only a feeling of helpless-

” he prayed. “
You are
the most Merciful, so forgive me for
my weakness. Grant me the
strength to do my duty, for there is
no strength nor power but from
You
.”
