The last touch
The Holy Prophet (SAW) was sitting in
the row of his Sahabah on the day of the battle of Badr. He had an arrow
without point in his hand. Suwaid bin Ghazia (RA) was a little forward
from the row. He (SAW) pushed his belly gently with this stick asking
him to stay erect. He said "O Prophet of Allah! You have caused pain to
me although Allah has sent you for establishing truth and justice. Hence
let me take my revenge." Thereupon, he (SAW) raised his clothe from his
body and asked him to take his revenge. Now Suwaid (RA) hugged him and
kissed his belly. "What made you to do so O Suwaid!" he (SAW) inquired.
He submitted "You see what is lying before us. I thought to have the
last meeting with you in a state that my skin get in touch with that of
yours." Hearing this, he (SAW) prayed for his welfare. Source:
Transmitted by Ibn Is'haque from Hib'ban.
The companions of the Prophet loved him (SAW) more than anyone else. Even at the last moment, they wish to be in touch with Rasulullah (SAW) rather than their family members. Indeed, we will be raised with those whom we love.
