Removing the Scales From One’s Eyes

Abu Masood was one of the helpers of the Prophet. One day he became annoyed with his slave and began beating him with a stick. Just at that moment, the Prophet passed by.

“Abu Masood,” he said, “you should know that God has more power over you than that you have over this slave.” On hearing the Prophet’s words, the stick im­mediately fell from Abu Masood’s hand. Furthermore, he granted the slave his freedom.
