They walked through the streets of
Madinah, up one ally and down
another, past the market place and
through the date orchards, around

talking to herself all the while, skip-
ping and hopping and giggling, but
the blessed Prophet [s] very patient-
ly held her tiny hand and tagged
along with her.
The little girl seemed to be getting
tired and, at last, sat down daintily
on the side path. She tugged at the
Prophet’s [s] hand urging him to sit
down beside her. He did so, being
only too happy to please her in any
way possible. Needless to say that
the passers-by were very surprised
to see such concern and affection
displayed by the Prophet [s] for a
girl who was not sane.
The blessed Prophet Muhammad
