Was it a principal of renowned college after his retirement? Was it a famous scientist after any memorable achievement? Was it a well known philosopher after having promoted in to any greater position?
Nay! It was an illiterate! He ordered so after having visited a cave. It was in a mountain called 'Jabalunnoor. Where the Jibril (A) came and asked him to read, he informed about his illiteracy. When the angel repeated his comment, he replayed the same. The comment came thrice and so was the reply. Then it was revealed. "Read in the name of your Lord, He created the man from 'Alaqa (clot). Read. Your lord is most generous he taught with pen". |
