Sympathy and self-Sacrifice
A sahabbi came to Rasulullah(Sallallahu Alaihi wassullam) and complained of hunger and distress. Just then ,Rasulullah(Sallallahu Alaihi wassullam) had nothing in hand ,or his home, to feed him. He asked the sahabah any one would keep him as a guest for the night on his behalf. one of the ansar said "O Nabi of Allah, I ill do that " The Ansri took the person to his house and instructed his wife: " look here, this man is the guest of Rasulullah(Sallallahu Alaihi wassullam). We will entertain him as the best as we can." The Wife Replied "By Allah! I have got no food in the house, Except a very littile something just enough for the children". The Ansari said: " You put the children to sleep without feeding them, I sit with the guest over the small meal. When we start eating put out the lamp pretending to set it right, so that the guest may not become aware of my not sharing the meal with him." The scheme worked out nicely and the whole family including the children, stayed hungry to enable the guest to eat his fill.It was over this incident that allah revealed the aya: "The prefer others above themselves, even though poverty become their alot"
