Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbal once told a story about a woman who left her son to look for a shady place to feed him a loaf of bread.
While she was looking around, a kidnapper came and took the boy to sell him into slavery.
When the mother returned and discovered her little boy was gone, she burst into tears.
Meanwhile a beggar passed by, asking for food; despite her pain and fears, she handed the man the loaf of bread she had been carrying, for her son.
In just a few minutes, the kidnapper came back, with her little boy.
He told her:
As I was trying to sell him, a strange voice said to me, "Don't you have a son? Aren't you afraid that he may face the same fate one day? So, I came to return your boy.
The woman took her child in her arms and said:
Glory be to Allah, who has accepted my loaf of bread ( as charity ) !
SubhanAllah! This story is so inspiring and yet touching!
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said:
Allah will help His servant as long as he helps his brother.
