An Example of the Holy Prophet's (sa) Compassion
During the Battle of Badr, the Holy Prophet (sa), Hazrat Ali (ra) and Hazrat Abu Lubabah (ra) would all take turns to sit on the camel. Hazrat Ali (ra) and Hazrat Abu Lubabah (ra) insisted that they should go by foot and for the Holy Prophet (sa) to remain on the camel, but the Holy Prophet (sa) did not agree and smiled, saying the two of them were not stronger than him in walking, nor was he in less need when it came to gaining reward than the two of them.
