It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to be engaged in (the welfare of) the Muslims. Whenever someone migrated and came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) would join him with one of us so that he could teach him the Holy Qur’an. Sayyiduna ‘Ubada (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entrusted a man to me; he used to stay at my house, I would give him the same food that my family ate, and I would teach him the Holy Qur’an. When he returned to his home and thought that I had a right over him, he gave me a bow as a gift. I had never seen a bow made of such fine wood and craftsmanship. So I went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! What is your opinion about this? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is a burning ember of fire that you have hung between your shoulders.
