AN APPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT THE HOUR OF HARDSHIP

      (One of those who sought excuses, and did not join the, ``ARMY OF HARDSHIP'' was a luxurious and reveller Muslim with wives and concubines, and many palm groves and farm lands. He was named, ``ABU KHAISAMIH''.

      When the prophet and his army left Medina, ABU KHAISAMIH was busy with his farm lands and palm groves. Some ten days had elapsed from the prophet's journey towards TABUK, when ABU KHAISAMIH was busy in his farm. He perspired a lot, by hard work, and being tired he went home to have a rest. At home he was entertained by his two beautiful young wives, under the shadow of green trees. The delicate fruit and cold silvery water, and the beauties entertaining him turned his thought upon the prophet and his Muslim brothers who were by now amid the deserts in that hot Arabian summer, with their lack of food and even a glass of pure water. They were to confront with Roman Empire only for the cause of God. ABU KHAISAMIH, after a while in his deep thought; suddenly jumped up, without touching the food and drink that was in front of him, and said to his wives:ِ ``What sort of a believer am I? The apostle of God, in that hardship, and I in so much ease and entertainment! I, among you pretty ones, and the Messenger of God, among his thirsty and hungry followers in that awfully hot desert! Upon my God! I will sit besides none of you, and I will drink no cold water until I join the prophet and share his troubles and hardship.'' He then mounted his swift horse and rode away at a gallop until he reached the prophet and declared his repentance and begged his pardon. The prophet welcomed him with a meaningful smile and embrace.
