كيف غيّرت كلمات النبي ﷺ فهم ضماد رضي الله عنه؟
كان ضماد يسمع كلامًا عن النبي ﷺ، فلما قابله سمع منه كلمات واضحة عن الحمد لله والحق. والحديث في صحيح مسلم يروي أنه أسلم بعد أن سمعها.
الكلمة الصادقة لا تحتاج إلى صراخ أو سخرية. يمكن أن تفتح قلبًا عندما تقال بوضوح ورحمة.
سمع ضماد رضي الله عنه كلام النبي ﷺ ففهمه وأسلم.
ما الكلمة التي يمكن أن ترفع معنويات شخص؟
قل اليوم كلمة تقدير صادقة لشخص ساعدك.
آخر مرة سمعت كلاماً عن شخص ما — تأكّدت بنفسك ولا صدّقت على طول؟

Dhimad al-Azdi came to Mecca and heard people saying Muhammad was touched in the head. He treated such things, so he offered to treat him. The Prophet ﷺ listened to him, then spoke words of praise and of the oneness of Allah — and Dhimad said: say them again! I have heard soothsayers and sorcerers and poets, and I have never heard anything like this. He accepted Islam on the spot.
Listen for yourself before you believe what people say.
A man of Azd Shanu'ah called Dhimad came to Mecca. He used to treat people, and he heard the foolish of Mecca saying that Muhammad was mad, so he said: if I could see this man, perhaps Allah would heal him at my hands. He met him and said: Muhammad, I treat this kind of affliction — shall I? The Prophet ﷺ said: “All praise is for Allah; we praise Him and seek His help. Whom Allah guides, none can lead astray; whom He leaves astray, none can guide.” Dhimad said: say those words of yours again! He repeated them three times, and Dhimad said: I have heard the words of soothsayers, and of sorcerers, and of poets, and I have never heard anything like these words of yours. Then he accepted Islam. Years later the poet Ka'b ibn Zuhayr came in repentance after satirising him, recited his famous poem before the Prophet ﷺ, and was pardoned and honoured.
Allah says of this Quran: ﴿لَوْ أَنزَلْنَا هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَىٰ جَبَلٍ لَّرَأَيْتَهُ خَاشِعًا﴾ — “Had We sent down this Quran upon a mountain, you would have seen it humbled.”
