Ali Radiyallahu Anhu narrates: "Once Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam was indebted with Dinaars to a Jewish person who was known as so and so Aalim (his name is not mentioned but mention is made of the fact that he was learned). The man came to Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam to claim that which was due to him. Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam said: "I do not have anything with me to give you (at the moment)."
The Jewish man said: "Then verily Oh Muhammed! I will not separate from you until you pay me." Nabi Sallallau Alaihi Wa Sallam said: "In that case I will sit with you" (As long as you in need of your money I will not run away or leave you but to show my sincere intention to pay you, I will remain with you)."
Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam sat with him and performed Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Esha and Fajr while They were together. The Sahaaba Radiyallahu Anhum were threatening and intended to chase the man away (due to extreme love for Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam). Their intentions drew the attention of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam and They said: "O Messenger of Allah A jewish man is detaining you!" Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam said: "My Rabb has forbade me from oppressing a person who has a right upon me and besides such people, others as well."
When the new day dawned, the Jew said: "I bear witness that there is no diety except Allah and I bear witness that verily you are the Messenger of Allah and I give half of my wealth in the path of Allah. By the Qasm (OATH) of Allah! the act that I done was not done except to see your qualities in the Taurah (to see if you are true and your qualities match the description of the messenger described in the Jewish scriptures, He then mentioned the qualities...) Muhammed son of Abdullah, His birth in Makka, His migration to Tayyiba (Madinah), His kingdom Shaam (Today Syria is knowm as Shaam however in that era a major portion of the Arabian peninsula was knowm as Shaam), not harsh nor hard, not proned to raise his voice in the markets, not a man of immodest actions nor a man of immodest speech. I bear witness that there is no diety except Allah and verily you are the Messenger of Allah, this is my wealth so utilise it using the wisdom that Allah Ta'aala has bestowed you with." (The narrator says...) and this jew was a very wealthy man. (Baihaqi, Mishkaat pg 520/521)
Q. Why didn't Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam have the Dinaars when the Jew came to claim it?
A. If the two parties in such a situation agree upon a date of payment then this will be for the best, however according to Shariat law, the creditor has the right to claim his money before the date of agreement, even though it will be against the dictates of "good character". In the Hadeeth mentioned above, the man asked for his money before the date of agreement and Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam was obviously not in the position to pay at that time.
Today there is a great misconception that the Sunnah method is indeed a harsh method. We have failed to realise that it is simply a method that every person would naturally be inclined to practice upon, the only extra ingredient being etiquette and modesty.
Abu Huraira Radiyallahu Anhu states: "Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam never complained with regards to food. If He liked it, He ate it and if He disliked it, He left it." (Bukhaari, Muslim)
It is natural in every person to abstain from eating a particular meal if he dislikes it, however the unfortunate thing is we tend to complain and criticize. Nabi Sallallahu Alaihui Wa Sallam naturally like every other person, also abstained. The major difference was the manner which He adopted when abstaining.
If we would simply leave the food in an appropriate manner keeping the Sunnah method in mind there will be great benefits. Some of the benefits are as follows:
*
Allah Ta'aala will be pleased.
* A person will be practicing on a Sunnah.
* A person will avoid unnecessary fights.
* A person will keep good family ties.
* The mood will not be spoiled.
* It will teach a person humility.
* A person will learn how to show gratitude.
* Keeping the first two in mind, this action could be a means of securing
a persons Jannat.
If one simple Sunnah can give us so much benefits, imagine the benefits of bringing our entire life on Sunnah.

thereafter, mom sent out her letters of thanks: "Milton," she
wrote one son, "The house you built is so huge. I live in only one
room, but I have to clean the whole house."
"Gerald," she wrote to another, "I am too old to travel.
I stay most of the time at home, so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the
driver is so rude!"
"Dearest Donald," she wrote to her third son, "You have
the good sense to know what your mother likes...
