Miracles of Prophet Muhammad
The Sixth Miracle : A Cup of Milk Waters a Group of People Because of the Prophet’s Blessing
In his Sahihs, al-Bukhari, may God have mercy upon him, transmitted
from Abu Huraira, may God be pleased with him, he said, ‘By God! I
was so hungry that I tightened a stone over my belly in order not to
feel that strong hunger.’
One day, I sat on the road where Muhammad and his companions used
to walk in. Abu Bakr passed before me and I asked him about a sign
from the Holly Book of Allah. I asked him so in order to make him
feed me but he did not do so. Then Omar, may God be pleased with him,
passed before me and again I asked him about a verse from the Book of
Allah, Great and Almighty, and also I asked him so in order to make
him feed me but he did not do so.
Then Abu al-Qasem (Muhammad) passed before me and soon he knew
what was in my mind and soul and he said, ‘O Abu Huraira!’
I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Here I am!’ He said, ‘The Truth’, then
he left and I followed him.
He entered and I took the permission of the Messenger. He
found a glass of milk, so he asked, ‘From where have you brought this milk?’
They said, ‘It is said that so and so have brought it here’.
The Messenger of Allah, God’s blessing and peace be upon him, said, ‘Abu
Huraira! Go to the people of Suffah (my companions) and call them to
come to me at once’. Abu Huraira said that the people of Suffah are
the guests of Islam; they left their homes and their money and
whenever the Messenger received a gift, he took some of it and
sent the rest for them and whenever he received alms, he sent
it to them without taking anything of it.
Abu Huraira said that this (the Prophet’s request) saddened me too much because I wished to drink some milk from that cup so that I might strengthen myself for the rest of the day. But I was obliged to obey the orders of the Messenger of Allah. So, I hurried to call them and, as I expected, they came, took the permission of the Prophet and took their seats.
The Messenger of Allah, God’s blessing and peace be upon him, said, ‘O
Abu Huraira! Take this glass and give it to them’.
I took the glass
and gave it to them one by one and at last, when they all quenched
their thirst, I gave the glass to the Messenger of Allah, God’s
blessing and peace be upon him, he took it and put it in his hand
while some milk remained in it. Them he raised his head and looked
at me and said while smiling, ‘Abu Huraira!’
I said, ‘I am here, Messenger of Allah!’
He said, ‘You and me are still thirsty’
I said, ‘You are right, Messenger of Allah’
He said, ‘Then, sit here and drink’ I did as I was asked.
He asked me to drink more and more but at last I said, ‘No, by the One who sent you by truth! I am unable to drink any more’ He said, ‘Then give me the glass’, I gave it to him and he drank the leftover of the milk.
Thus, this miracle appears so clear and it is one of the Muhammadan miracles; because a glass of milk usually does not quench the thirst or suffices a group of hungry persons. So, how could it quench their thirst and suffice them all? It is the prophetic miracle.
Another sign of the Muhammadan perfection is that he was the last one to drink the leftover of the milk which was drank by all the people. Here, one can ask this question: “What about those persons who are disgusted of drinking the leftover of anything and above all they reject doing so for fear of an illness if they do so. Where are they from the Muhammadan perfection?". They are so far from that perfection. They are astray in the valley of illusion where they hear not and listen not.
