of his sincerity in recording a Revelation in the Holy Quran
even if it seems to reprove him for some natural and human
zeal.
 

ADMONITION AS REVEALED

    It was in the early days of his mission in Makkah.
Muhammad (pbuh) was deeply engrossed in trying to wean
the leaders of the pagan Quraish to his teachings.  Apparen-
tly one of them was giving him an attentive hearing when a
poor blind man by the name Of Abdullah lbn Umm-1-
Maktum tried to barge in into the discussion and wanting
to draw attention to himself.  The blessed Prophet said
nothing, but a thought went through his mind (why don't
you have a little patience, can't you see (sense) that because
of your impatience I might lose these customers). I believe
that lesser men, sinners and saints, will not be questioned for
such lapses, but not so for Muhammad (pbuh).  Did not God
choose him and honour him with that lofty status as
recorded?
 

And Most Certainly
Thou (O Muhammad)
Are of Most sublime
And Exalted Character. Holy Quran 68:4  
 

HE FROWNED
    Whilst in the midst of the conversation with his pagan
fellow tribesmen, God Almighty sends Gabriel, the Angel of
Revelation, with this admonition:

(THE PROPHET) FROWNED
AND TURNED AWAY,

BECAUSE THERE CAME TO HIM
THE BLIND MAN (INTERRUPTING).
