Q
What does this narration teach about the value of every individual in the community, regardless of their social status?
A
A black person, a male or a female used to clean the Mosque and then died. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) did
not know about it . One day the Prophet (ﷺ) remembered him and said, “What happened to that person?”
The people replied, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! He died.” He said, “Why did you not inform me?” They said,
“His story was so and so (i.e. regarded him as insignificant).” He said, “Show me his grave.” He then
went to his grave and offered the funeral prayer.
