Glowing Stick at Night
(HR. Abu Na’im)
Narrated by Maimun Ibn Zaid Ibn Abu Abas, he said. Muhammad Rasulullah once gave a stick to Maimun Ibn Abu Abas after he became blind.
Because of this condition, Maimun often had difficulty traveling, especially when traveling at night.
Seeing this difficulty, Muhammad Rasulullah with his affection then gave a special stick to Maimun.
Muhammad Rasulullah advised Maimun Ibn Zaid Abu Abas, “Use this stick to light your way!”
It was amazing! The stick emitted light like a lamp so that the stick could light the way at night that Maimun Ibn Zaid Abu Abas passed.
Since then, he has been able to walk safely even at night. ***
