(Episode 110)

Generosity with a Non- Muslim Guest:

Syedna Naeem bin Masood Ashjee says two ambassadors of Musaillima bin Kazzab brought his letter to the Prophet ﷺ. After reading his letter the Prophet ﷺ asked the ambassadors what they had thought about the prophet hood of Musailima bin Kazzab. They replied that they had believed in his prophet hood. On hearing this Prophet ﷺ said, “According to the law ambassadors cannot be killed. If it were not the law I would put to you to the sword.” (Abu Dawood 2761). It shows to whatever religion the guest belongs, he would be treated according to the law. Like when the Christians of Najiran came to the Prophet ﷺ, he made them stay in the Masjid-e-Nabvi. It was the time of after Asr prayers. When the time came to worship they indulged in their prayers. Some of the companions of the prophetﷺ wanted to stop them from worshipping there but the prophet forbad them to do so and the Christians started worshipping in the Masjid-e-Nabvi directing towards east.
