the Blessed Messenger of Allah, Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam cared for and fed an old blind Jewish beggar at the marketplace of Madinah al Munawwarah who was always cursing him based upon blind hatred and hearsay
When the Blessed Messenger passed away, his successor and Companion Caliph Abu Bakar tried to carry on doing the same after learning about it from his daughter Siti Aishah, widow of the Blessed Messenger
When Sayyidina Abu Bakar tried to feed the old blind Jew, the blind man, caught hold of Abu Bakar's hand and asked as to who he was?
Abu Bakar said that he was the same one who had been feeding him before. The blind man refuted that and said that the one who had fed him before had chewed the food well before feeding him
Abu Bakar broke down sobbing uncontrollably and confessed to the old blind Jew that it was the Blessed Prophet of Allah, Muhammad the Mercy of God for all creation who had been feeding the blind beggar all those years and now the prophet had passed away
The old blind Jew was shocked beyond belief and he cried out wail-fully that how wretched a person he was?
He had been cursing the prophet all those years and yet had been fed and nurtured by the very same prophet without a single retort or complaint against his cursing of him
The blind Jew attested that he was really very, very sorry and declared his Syahadah before Sayyidina Abu Bakar and became a believer

glory to Allah who did take His servant (Prophet Muhammad may be peace upon him) for a journey by night from the sacred mosque to the farthest most, whose precincts We did bkess, - in order that We might show him some of Our signs: for He is the One who heareth and seeth all things (Qur'an, al isra surah 17)
Avoid the seven noxious things(1) Associating anything with Allah SWT (2) black magic (3) killing one whom God has declared inviolate without a just cause (4) devouring usury (5) consuming the property of an orphan (6) running back from the battlefield and, (7) slandering chaste women who are believers but indiscreet - (Bukhari, Muslim).
that he heard Allah's Apostle sayings, 'when the people of quraish did not believe me i.e. the story of my night journey, I stood up in al hijr and Allah displayed jerusalem infront of me and I began describing it tothem while I was looking at it' - hadith related al bukhari
"Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt" - hadith related by tarmizi
"Fear Allah wherever you are, and follow up a bad deed with a good one and it will wipe it out, and behave well towards people" - hadith related by tarmizi
"Allah the Almighty has laid down religious duties, so do not neglict them. He has set boundaries, so do not over step them. He has prohibited some things, so do not violate them; about some things He was silent-out of compassion for you, not forgetfulness, so seek not after them" - hadith related by al daraqutani
Allahuma Solli Ala Syedina Muhammad wa Ala Alli Muhammad
