The Tenderness Of Ameerul Mumineen Hazrat Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu)
Once Hadhrat Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu) expressed the desire for eating fish. His wife instructed the servant to go quickly with the camel to buy fish. The fish was brought. When the fried fish was placed before him he asked: “How did you obtain the fish so quickly?”After his wife explained,he went outside to examine the camel. He found some perspiration on the ear of the camel. He entered the house and said: “For satisfying the taste of Umar, the camel was subjected to hardship.” Hadhrat Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu) took the fish, sold it in the bazaar and gave the money to the poor. In this way he compensated for having caused distress to the animal.”
Comment: And today this Ummat has no problem with eating animals that were themselves tortured (stunned, hung up side down etc) let alone being distressed. We should do some soul searching on our humanity let alone our Imaan.
May Allah forgive us.
