RESPECT COVENANTS

HADITH OF THE DAY:

RESPECT COVENANTS

Enemies of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once sent a messenger who, on arrival, accepted Islam. The messenger then told the Prophet he would never return to those who sent him. The Prophet replied:

"I do not (want to create the impression that I would) break a covenant or imprison messengers, so return (to them), and if you feel the same as you do now, come back."

The messenger later returned to the Prophet and became a Muslim.

Sunan of Abu-Dawood, Hadith 1182
