This is a true story based in Saudi Arabia.
There's an old woman suffered with cancer.
She had a maid from Indonesia.
This old woman always see her maid took a long time in the toilet and when she came out from the toilet, her eyes became red as if she was crying. It happened many times.
Then, this old woman asked her maid if something is wrong.
The maid said, " I came here and left my two months old baby in my hometown ( Indonesia). The baby was breastfeeding until I came here and since then I have to pump out the milk and just see the milk being wasted. Every time I see the wasted milk, it will remind me to my dearest baby and I'll cry "
Not long after, the old woman gave her two year salary. Again, two year salary plus a flight ticket to Indonesia to her maid. She said, " Go home and breastfeed your child and return here when your baby is two ".
Subhanallah. This may seem just simple but if you read it with your heart, somehow you'll feel the beauty of it. The story doesn't end there.
The day after, the old woman went to the doctor for treatment and the doc was surprised not to see any single cancer cells in her body. The old woman was surprised too. Don't you? :)
When the doc asked her what did she do or what did she ate, she simply said nothing. The doc believed something must has happened and urged the woman to remember hard what was going on few days back. Then, she simply related the story of the maid.
The doctor said, Prophet SAW is right. Masha Allah.
" Treat your sickness by giving sadaqah "
May Allah made us among those who will be consistent in giving sadaqah and doing charity.
May Allah made us among the people of Jannah.
Amin.
