There was an old woman who had a large bag. She tried to put it on her head but she could not. It was very heavy for her to lift. At a distance, she saw a man. She called out to him: 'O handsome gentleman. Will you please lift this bag and place it on my head?' The man came and lifted the bag. Instead of placing it on the woman's head, he carried it on his shoulders. The old woman was surprised by the man's action. 'You indeed have the best character,' she said.
→ As they continued walking to her home, she said to the man, 'There is a person in Makkah who is called Muhammad. He wants people to believe that he is a Prophet. Be very careful with him! He uses sweet words to mislead people. He is not a Prophet al all!' The man listened to the old woman who was saying bad things about the Prophet.
→ At last they reached the house of the old woman. 'Do not forget what I told you about Muhammad. Be careful with him,' warned the woman. 'You are far much better than Muhammad.'
→ The man at last said, 'I am Muhammad. I am Prophet!'
→ The old woman was suprised, 'You are Muhammad?'
→ The man replied, 'Yes, I am Muhammad and I have forgives you for what you hase said.'
→ The old woman said, 'Then you are truly a Prophet and I want to be a Muslim.'
→ The old woman accepted Islam because the Prophet interacted with many people and he was patient with them.
— The Prophet tells us, 'A Muslim who mixes with people and is patient with their annoyances is than the Muslim who does not mix with people and has no patience over their annoyances.'
