ASSALAMU ALAIKUM WA RAHMATULLAH, ​
DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!​
Here, I will relate to you a story about a muslim named Abdullah. In the end, you'll realize what lesson it contains for all of us, In Sha Allah...
" Abdullah was an energetic person but lacking in certain skills. One day, he left his home to pray Dhuhr in the Masjid. It was his zeal for the prayer and respect for his religion which brought him out to pray. He was walking fast in order to reach the Masjid before the Iqamah was given. On his way, he passed by a date-palm tree on top of which there was a man in uniform, working on the tree. Abdullah became surprised and thought "Who is this man who does'nt care about the prayer! It is as if he didnt even hear the Adhan(call to prayer), or does'nt care about the Iqamah, which is about to go!!"
He shouted in anger, "Get down and pray!"
The man responded coldly," OK, OK..."
He said again, '' Hurry up and pray, you donkey!"
The man screamed, "You called me a donkey?!" He then took a branch of the tree and descended in order to hit him over the head with it! Abdullah hid his face with his headscarf so that the man would'nt recognize him and went on to the Masjid. The man descended from the tree in anger, and went to his house, prayed and rested for a while. He then returned to the tree to finish his job.
Then 'Asr time came and Abdullah went to the Masjid again. On his way he passed by the same tree and noticed the same man working. He decided to change his method altogether and said,
''As-salamu 'Alaikum! How are you?''
The man replied, "Alhamdulillah, I am fine!"
He said, ' Give me some good news. How are the dates this year?'
The man said, "Alhamdulillah."
Abdullah said, " May Allah give you success and provision, make your life easy for you, and not deprive you of the reward for your work!"
The man was overjoyed at hearing this supplication and said ameen to the prayer.
Abdullah then said, '' It seems that you are so preoccupied with work that perhaps you didnt notice the Adhan for Asr prayer. The Adhan has been called and the Iqamah is about to be given. Perhaps you should get down, relax a little and get ready for prayer. After the prayer you can get on with your work again. May Allah keep you healthy.''
The man said, 'In sha Allah...In sha Allah..." and began to descend gently.
He then turned to Abdullah, shook his hand warmly and said, ''I'd like to thank you for your excellant manners. As for the one who passed by me at Dhuhr time, I wish I could see him and show him who the real donkey is!"

The Result...
"Your skill with dealing with others determine how they deal with you."
