Rasul-Allah Salallaho Alayhi WaSallam waits for 3 days
The following hadith tells us how Allah subhanahu’s dearest Prophet Muhammad (Salallaho alayhay wa alehe wabarik wa sallam) went under so much hardship for fulfilling promise.
سنن ابوداؤد حدیث نمبر: 4996
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ، عَنْ بُدَيْلٍ، عَنْعَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَمْسَاءِ، قَالَ: بَايَعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِبَيْعٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُبْعَثَ، وَبَقِيَتْ لَهُ بَقِيَّةٌ فَوَعَدْتُهُ أَنْ آتِيَهُ بِهَا فِي مَكَانِهِ، فَنَسِيتُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ، فَجِئْتُ فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي مَكَانِهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا فَتًى، لَقَدْ شَقَقْتَ عَلَيَّ أَنَا هَاهُنَا مُنْذُ ثَلَاثٍ أَنْتَظِرُكَ،
Narrated Abdullah ibn AbulHamsa: I bought something from the Prophet ﷺ before he received his Prophetic commission, and as there was something still due to him I promised him that I would bring it to him at his place, but I forgot. When I remembered three days later, I went to that place and found him there. He said: You have vexed me, young man. I have been here for three days waiting for you. (Sunan Abu Dawud Hadith number 4996)
May Allah subhanahu wa ta ala forgive us and guide us all ameen ( Allahumma sallay ala Muhammad ew wa ala alehe wa barik wa sallam). You can be interest to read “Non Muslims are not allowed in Arabian Peninsula”.
