He Frowned & Turned Away

بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمَانِ الرَّحِيم

Surah Abasa ayahs 1-4.

The Prophet frowned and turned away

Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].

But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

So even the Prophet was 'scolded' in the Quran. Y'all probably think prophets were wise, quiet people who thought "Kids should be been and not heard." But no. They're human. They have personalities.

Like for example, Prophet Musa had sort of an attitude, because he punched the Angel of Death when he came.

And Prophet Yunus was impatient with his people and left them, thinking Allah wouldn't find him.

So the prophets are human. When a blind man came to Rasulullah SAW, Rasulullah SAW ignored him and made sort of an annoyed face because he was talking to the Quraysh. The man was seeking knowledge, and Rasulullah SAW didn't give him the knowledge because he didn't have the time for him.

So how about you're at a party at the masjid, and some kid comes to you while you're having a convo with your friend. It's really exciting because you're talking about something that happened at school or something that happened when you were a kid. The kid who comes to you wants to ask if you can get a Quran from the shelf so he can practice for his upcoming class. The kid can't do it himself because the he's too short. Your immediate reaction would be:

"Go ask someone else!!"

But the kid asked you particularly because he's been watching you and he thinks you're cool. And when he needs help he asks you. Doesn't even ask his mom. The little stalker.

Same story about the blind man. He came seeking knowledge and at that time Rasulullah was one of the most knowledgable people because he was a prophet. Most importantly, the man wanted to ask about Islam.

Say the party was at the park and there were jumping balloons, and the kid was a bad daredevil boy. He comes to you asking if you can go to the jumping balloon and pull it down because you're tall enough. You refuse, and the kid begins complaining. But you say no because that's not the right thing to do.

That was based on a true story. Some kid came to me and Mar and asked exactly that ^^. I said no. She looked sad and partly annoyed. But seriously. Why??
