Abu Dajanah always used to pray behind the Prophet, {SAW}.
But as soon as he finish his prayer, he comes out of the Masjid quickly.
But as soon as he finish his prayer, he comes out of the Masjid quickly.
This caught the eyes of the Prophet, {SAW} and one day he stopped him and asked him:
"O Abu Dajanah, don't you need anything from Allah?"
Abu Dajana said:
"O Messenger of Allaah, Yes I do. I can't live without Allah even with a blink of an eye."
The Prophet said:
"So why don't you stay with us after prayers and ask Allah what you need?"
Abu Dajana said:
"The reason is that I have a Jewish neighbor who has a date palm tree, and its branches are in the courtyard of my house.
So when the wind blows at night, the dates fall into my courtyard.
That is why you see me coming out of the Masjid quickly, so that I can go and collect the dates and return them to the owner, before my kids wake up.
Because once they wake up, they will eat them as they are hungry.
I swear to Allah, O Messenger of Allah, that one day I saw one of my children chewing the date, and I put my finger in his throat and took it out before he could swallow it.
When my son cried, I said to him:
*'Aren't you ashamed of standing in front of Allah as a thief?"*
When Abubakar heard what Abu Dajana said, he went to the Jewish and bought the date palm tree, and gave it to Abu Dajana and his children.
When the Jewish learned the truth of the matter, he quickly collected his children and his family and went to the Prophet SAW, and announced their entry into Islam.

This is how they made people enter Islam because of their stand and their actions.
They were advocates of their deep-rooted faith, and their actions is a reflection of their faith.
*Be a good ambassador of Islam!!*
