Assalam 'Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Ink will dry up and papers will finish before it is able to describe all the living examples of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the Rightly guided Khaliphs who have succeeded him. Let me just mention on incident here, for the benefit of us all inshaAllah my dear brothers and sisters.
Al-Hurmazaan – the advisor to Kirsra – comes to Madeenah, wearing the best of clothes made of silk and gold. He enters Madeenah, and asks for the palace of the khaleefa. They said, “He has no palace.” He said, “Where is his house then?” They showed him a house made of mud, and pointed to it. He asked, “so where are his guards?” They said, “There are no guards.”
Al-Hurmazaan knocks on the door, and Umar (radiyallahu 'anh)’s son answers.
“Where is the khaleefah?”
“Look for him in the Masjid.” came the reply.
