“
As-Salamu ‘Alaykum (Peace be
upon you), dear sir,
” the two boys
respectfully greeted. “
Wa ‘Alaykum-
us-Salam, wa Rahmat-ullah (And
amy peace be upon you too, and
the mercy of Allah), dear children of
the Prophet,
” the old man replied
with a broad smile. He loved them,
as all Muslims did, for they were like
their noble grandfather in almost
every way.
“
Sir, we are not sure which of the
two of us performs his Wudu’ bet-
ter,
” the two boys said. “
Please,
would you watch and judge
between the two of us?
”
“
Yes, gladly. It would be my hon-
our,
” the old man replied.
Having said this, they both began to
perform Wudu’ exactly as it should
be done, with the old bedouin
intently watching them.
