acquainted with the way. He said
that he would guide me and protect
me on the way. He then brought a
camel for me and made it kneel
down so that I could mount it.
After I mounted the camel, he took
it by the reins and led the camel on
the way. By Allah (swt), he was such
a modest and shy man that he did
not utter a single word to me in the
entire way. When we had to stop to
rest on the way, he would tie the
camel to a tree, make it kneel down
and then go away from that area so
that I would not feel uncomfortable.
In the morning he would come
again and take the reigns of the
camel without looking at me until I
would mount the camel, and he did
like this all the way until we finally
reached Madina Munawwarah.
May Allah Ta`ala reward the man
