REFLECTION

There was a story of Saidinah Abu bakar r.a about attitude to life of Prophet Muhammad SAW

After the passing of Prophet Muhammad SAW., Saidinah Abu Bakar questioned Siti Aisha (wife of Prophet Muhammad SAW., and daughter of Saidinah Abu Bakar). "Aisha, what tasks have i not made my daily activities that your husband, Rasullullah, have done". She replied, "father, there is only one activity that you have not done yet?"..."What's that ya Aisha?" he asked. "Feeding a blind man in the market." she replies.

So then Saidinah Abu Bakar went to the market to find a blind man. he then comes across a blind jewish man who was preaching to people not to believe Muhammad's lies;that he is a fake and he will lead you nowhere. Saidinah Abu Bakar sat next to him and fed him food. the blind man grabbed his hand, and said "you are not the one who usually feeds me." "How do you know?"asks Saidinah Abu Bakar. "the one who feeds me usually chews the food first so it will be easier for me to eat. Who are you?"
Saidinah Abu Bakar replies, "i am Abu Bakar." so then the blind man askes him again, "Who is the person who usually feeds me and where has he gone?"
With tears in Saidinah Abu Bakar's eyes he answered, "the person who fed you before, has passed away. His name was Muhammad"
Confused,the blind jewish person asks,"Muhammad who?"
"Rasullullah SAW." Saidinah Abu Bakar replies.
The blind man cried, and immediately confessed his sins and joined Islam.

What im trying to say is, even with enemies, Rasullullah SAW. still respected everyone with high manners. so why can't we?
