The Prophet’s Body Emitted Fire
(HR. Abu Na’im)
Syabih Ibn Ustman, a Quraysh infidel who wanted to kill the Prophet in a war in the Hunain area. He then followed and approached the Prophet.
Then Syabih drew his sword towards the Prophet. But, suddenly. TAAAR! A blaze of fire struck Syabih like lightning. Syabih was shocked!
At the same time, the Prophet looked at Syabih and called him, “Hey, Syabih, come here!” After that, the Prophet put his hand on Syabih’s chest, until Allah SWT expelled the devil from Syabih’s heart.
How strange. Since then, Syabih has come to love the Prophet very much. In fact, the Prophet became the person he loved the most. More than his love for anyone else. ***
