Message of justice in infancy
In the pre-Islamic days, snatching each others’ rights was considered a matter of pride. It was considered to oppress and wrong others. In such an era, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) gave the message of justice and gave an actual real-life example of fulfilling others’ rights. In His infancy, when Hadhrat Haleema Sa’adiya (May Allah be well pleased with her) fed Him from the right side, He would accept it. When she would try to feed Him from the other side, He wouldn’t accept it. Hadhrat Haleema (May Allah be well pleased with her) understood that this side is for her son Hadhrat ‘Abdullah. She says that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) was also satiated as was her son. (Al Mawahib Al Ladunniya, Vol. 1, Pg. No. 269)
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) gave the message of
justice right from His cradle. Right from His infancy, He instructed
the Ummah in justice. He made it clear that until now, rights were
trampled upon but now a law will be given by which due rights will
be granted to all.
