A Miracle in Butter
Look at how amazing our beloved Nabi ﷺ was!!
Umme Malik رضي الله عنها who was one of the female companions of our beloved Nabi ﷺ would regularly send butter for our beloved Nabi ﷺ.
She had a container at home in which she would store this butter and when she intended to send, she would take out from this container.
Due to this, the container and its contents became so blessed that whenever she faced poverty and needed food for her children, she would always find butter in it and would take out as much as she wished.
However, it once happened that she emptied all the butter from the container. After doing this she did not have butter from the container any more.
She reported this to our beloved Nabi ﷺ, who remarked, “Had you not emptied it completely, you would have been able to get butter from it forever.”
(Sahih Muslim)
