strange conversation. “
Who was
this man?
” they asked themselves.
Eventually the stranger got up and
left as suddenly as he had
appeared. The
Sahabah
[r] were
baffled. They were curious to know
who the stranger was and why he
asked those questions. They had
listened attentively to everything
that was said hoping to find a clue.
The
Sahabah
[r] respectfully did not
ask the Prophet [s] for they knew
that he would not withold what was
important for them to know. The
Holy Prophet remained silent.
Some time later the Prophet [s]
asked, “
Do you know who the ques-
tioner was?
” A
Sahabi
[r] replied,
“
Allah and His Prophet know best!
”
The Holy Prophet [s] thereupon
said, “
That was Angel Jibra’il - he
came into your assembly to teach
you your religion
.”
