Mu'awiyah ibn Al-Hakam As-Sulami (RA) narrated the incident himself, preserved in Sahih Muslim.
He had an enslaved girl who used to graze his sheep. One day, a wolf attacked one of the sheep. He came upon her and, in his anger, slapped her hard across the face.
Later, he was troubled by what he had done. He came to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to ask what to do. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asked him to bring the girl.
He asked her: "Where is Allah?"
She pointed up to the sky.
He asked her: "Who am I?"
She said: "You are the Messenger of Allah."
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ turned to Mu'awiyah and said:
"أَعْتِقْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ"
"Free her. She is a believer."
He did not ask about the sheep. He did not lecture her owner. He asked her two questions. She answered them with a pointing finger and one sentence, and walked out of slavery.
The most powerful person there checked her faith before anything else. Then handed her back her life.

In the early years of the Prophet's ﷺ masjid in Madina, there was no pulpit. He would deliver the Friday khutbah while leaning against the trunk of a date palm tree.
The tree bore his weight for years. It stood behind him during his most important speeches.
One day, the companions offered to build him a proper minbar (pulpit). He accepted.
The first Friday he stood on the new pulpit, the tree began to make a sound. The companions who were present described it exactly: it was the sound of a small child sobbing. The whole masjid heard it. It did not stop.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ stepped down from the minbar. He walked to the tree. He placed his hand on it. He embraced it.
The tree fell silent.
He said: "If I had not embraced it, it would have kept crying until the Day of Judgment."
Some of the companions later buried the trunk of that tree beside his minbar, out of honor.
Even the creation could feel his presence, and mourn his absence.
Send salawat below. He was mourned by trees. He is remembered by us.

The people of Mecca demanded a miracle. They wanted proof. They said: if you are truly a messenger, show us something.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ looked up at the full moon over Mecca. He pointed.
The moon split into two halves.
One half appeared over one part of the mountain, the other half over another. The Quraysh watched it happen. Then it rejoined.
Their response, preserved in Sahih Bukhari was: "This is powerful magic, but ask travelers arriving from other lands whether they saw it too."
Travelers who arrived in Mecca in the following days confirmed independently that they had seen the moon split from where they were.
Allah Himself sealed this event in the Qur'an, opening Surah Al-Qamar:
"اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ"
"The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split."
The disbelievers still refused to believe. They called it magic. But even they could not deny they had seen it happen.
He was asked for a sign. He gave one that both the sky and the Qur'an remember.
Save this, the next time someone says the Prophet ﷺ never performed miracles, this is the answer.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, in a hadith preserved word-for-word in both Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim:
"مَنْ رَآنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ فَقَدْ رَآنِي، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَتَمَثَّلُ فِي صُورَتِي"
"Whoever sees me in a dream has truly seen me. For shaytan does not take my form."
He said it plainly. He said it clearly. He said it in multiple narrations.
There is one condition, you must have actually seen HIM, in his true form. Shaytan can appear pretending to be him, but not in his actual likeness. This is why, when companions dreamt of him, they would ask elders who had known him: does this match his description?
1,400 years after his death, this door remains open.
Companions saw him. Their students saw him. Muslims across every century have seen him. Some sought it. Many did not.
He left this world in 632 CE.
But he did not close the door behind him.
You could see him tonight.
Comment "Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad" if you have ever asked to see him.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ's infant son Ibrahim was dying.
He held him. The baby's chest rattled. His tears fell onto his son's face.
A companion, startled to see him weeping, asked: "You cry, O Messenger of Allah?"
He answered:
"This is mercy. The eye sheds tears. The heart grieves. And we do not say except what pleases our Lord. And, O Ibrahim, we are grieved by your parting."
That same day, the sun eclipsed over Medina.
The people began to say: "The sun eclipsed because Ibrahim, the son of the Messenger of Allah, has died."
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ heard this. In the middle of his own fresh grief, he stood up and delivered a khutbah. He said, preserved in Sahih Bukhari word-for-word:
"إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ، لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ"
"The sun and the moon are two signs of Allah. They do not eclipse for anyone's death or life."
He would not let his own grief become someone else's false belief. Even while weeping. Even while burying his son.
Tag someone who taught you that faith and grief can hold hands.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ described the moments after burial in detail. Anas ibn Malik (RA) narrated it, preserved in both Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
After a person is buried and their family walks away, two angels come. They sit the person up. They ask three questions:
"Who is your Lord?" "What is your religion?" "Who is this man who was sent to you?"
The believer answers steadily: "My Lord is Allah. My religion is Islam. He is Muhammad ﷺ — the Messenger of Allah."
The one who did not believe answers: "I do not know. I heard people say things and I said them too."
The grave then becomes what each person's answers earned, either widened with light, or crushed and dark.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ gave us the questions in advance.
Most people never think about the fact that we have the exam paper 1,400 years before the exam.
Practice the answers now. So your tongue does not fail when the moment comes.
Save this hadith. Read it before you sleep tonight.

Anas ibn Malik (RA), a companion who was present, narrated the scene.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ had just died. Aisha (RA) was still holding him. The companions were gathered outside, in shock. The room was silent.
Fatimah (RA) walked in. His youngest daughter. The only child of his still alive at the moment of his death.
She saw her father's body.
She could not hold it back. She cried out, in a voice recorded in Sahih Bukhari:
"يَا أَبَتَاهُ أَجَابَ رَبًّا دَعَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهُ جَنَّةُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ مَأْوَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهُ إِلَى جِبْرِيلَ نَنْعَاهُ"
"O my father — who answered the Lord who called him. O my father — Jannat al-Firdaws is his home. O my father, to Jibreel we announce your death."
She did not cry a general cry. In the middle of breaking, she named every truth about him: he had answered his Lord. His home was Jannah. The angels were being told.
Some grief speaks. Some grief prophesies. Hers did both.
Six months later, she followed him.

During the Hijrah, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and Abu Bakr (RA) passed by the tent of a Bedouin woman named Umm Ma'bad.
They asked for food. She had nothing. Only a starved sheep too weak to walk or be milked, sitting outside her tent.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asked her permission. He placed his hand on the sheep. He made du'a. Then he milked her and enough milk came to feed him, Abu Bakr, their guide, and Umm Ma'bad herself. There was still milk left over.
They continued their journey.
When Umm Ma'bad's husband Abu Ma'bad returned home, she described the stranger who had come. Her description was so precise, so lyrical, she captured his face, his eyes, his beard, the way he spoke, that her husband stopped her and said:
"By Allah, this is the man Quraysh is hunting. I wish I had been with him."
She spent minutes with him. She spent the rest of her life quoting his description.
Some faces you see once. They stay with you the rest of your life.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was 12 years old.
His uncle Abu Talib was taking a trade caravan north from Mecca to Sham (Syria). The child begged to go. Abu Talib almost said no, the road was dangerous, the boy was an orphan in his care. But he could not refuse him.
They traveled together. At a place called Busra, they made camp near the cell of a Christian monk named Bahira. Bahira was a scholar of the Christian scriptures. He had lived in that cell for years, quietly waiting.
He came out. He watched the caravan. He noticed something the traders did not.
A single cloud was shading ONE boy in the group. When the boy moved, the cloud moved with him. Trees bent slightly toward him.
Bahira invited them all to eat. He watched the boy carefully. Then he took Abu Talib aside and said something private:
"Take this boy back to Mecca. Guard him carefully. He is going to be extraordinary. And there are people who will try to kill him if they discover him."
Abu Talib turned the caravan back.
The world knew who Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was before he did.

Comment one word for a stranger who saw something in you that you couldn't see in yourself.

Ibn Mas'ud (RA) narrated the incident himself. He was one of the companions on the journey.
They were traveling. They came upon a small bird's nest with two young in it. One of them took the young.
The mother bird returned. She saw them gone. She began circling the group, frantic, flying around them, beating her wings, distressed.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ turned to the group and said:
"Who has distressed this bird by taking her young?"
Then he commanded: "Return them to her."
The companion put them back in the nest. The mother settled.
He also, in the same journey, saw an anthill that the companions had burned. He was visibly angered and said: "No one should punish with fire except the Lord of the fire."
He understood a mother bird's grief before the men around him understood their own action.
The way you treat what cannot speak is the truest measure of who you are. He built this into the Sunnah, on a random road, over two small eggs.
Save this and read it the next time you dismiss a small cruelty as too small to matter.
