The compassionate Mohammed

Once prophet Mohammad was walking on the road. On the side of the road, he saw an old lady sitting and sobbing. A big heavy sack full of flour was lying near her.
‘Why are you crying, Grandma?’, asked Mohammed.
She said ‘This big flour sack fell down from my head. It is too heavy for me to carry, my son! I could manage to carry this far…. But…. Now it is impossible to go any further’
‘But why should you carry such a big sack full of flour?’ Mohammed enquired.
If I do not carry this to my master’s place soon I will be beaten to death. My master is very strict.’
‘Alright!’ Said the prophet ‘I will carry it on my head for you. Please show me the way to your master’s house.’
‘God bless you’ said the lady thanking him profusely, ‘you are like God - kind and compassionate to the helpless.’
When they reached their destination the master was astonished to see the kind man and he shouted,
‘Arre! Is it you, Paigambar sahib?’
‘Yes’ said the great prophet; ‘I gave a helping hand to this old lady.’
The master fell at the feet of the prophet and asked for pardon.
The Paigambar said, ‘All are same in the eyes of the Lord. We should not harass people. We should have consideration for the poor and the aged.’
The master agreed and said that he would never do it again.
