Angels in Your Presence

 Have you ever met a person in life that you thought might be an angel? And I'm not just  talking about your child or a friend of yours or someone that you think is an angelic because of  the way that they carry themselves, but someone who just popped into your life. You were stuck  somewhere and they helped you or someone that that showed up somewhere in public and said  something to you that you needed to hear in those moments or someone that was sick or ill or a  recipient of charity and you thought this person can't be a human being and then they're mysterious.  You don't see them before, you don't see them after and you're left to think, wait a minute,  was that an angel? Right? I mean, it is possible that you might meet a shaitan, you know, in the  form of a human being, but like, have I ever actually met an angel in the form of a human being?  There's a hadith of the Prophet, peace be upon him, where he talks about these three  men from Bani Israel and they were contemporaries as is made clear in the hadith. And the Prophet,  peace be upon him, said there was a bald man, a man who was a leper, and a man who was blind.  And an angel went to all three of them and asked them, what is it that you want? What is it that  you'd want to change about yourself? And the leper said that I would want to have good skin because  the people feel an aversion towards me because of my leprosy. And the angel touches that person  and suddenly their skin is cured altogether. So they have full skin again. And the angel says  to that person, and what type of property is most beloved to you? And the man said,  camel. And so the angel then brings a pregnant she camel and says, may Allah bless you with that  she camel. And this shows that it's Allah that's going to provide, not the angel. Allah is the one  who blesses. And it's also a wisdom in that this person is now going to see this valley of camels  come from this one pregnant she camel to really see the generosity of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala  unfold before their eyes. And so suddenly that person has the skin that they want, the appearance  that they want, and they also have the wealth that they want and become a very wealthy person.  The angel then goes to someone who is bald and says, what would you like to change about yourself?  And the bald man says that I'd love to have good hair, right? I feel like it would beautify me. I  feel like it's what I want. And the angel says, well, you know, you're going to have to change  your hair, right? I feel like it would beautify me. I feel like it's what's missing in my life.  And so the angel touches that man's head, gives them an angelic hair transplant. You can't find  that anywhere in the world today. And suddenly that person has a full head of hair and the angel  then says to the man, and what type of property is most beloved to you? And the man says cows.  So the same thing happens. A pregnant cow is given and the angel says,  may Allah bless you with it. And suddenly he has an entire, uh, you know, plot of, of cows.  And then he goes to a person who is blind. And we know that that is a very specific type of test.  There are multiple rewards that you find in the Hadith for the person that is blind and  patience with Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. Many scholars who suffered from this. And says to the  blind man, what would you like? He said, I'd love to have my eyesight back, my vision back.  And so the angel wipes his eyes and suddenly he can see again. And then he says to him,  and what's the most beloved of property to you? He says sheep, which is very simple,  right? If you think about it. So he's given a pregnant sheep and that gives birth to, uh,  an entire, uh, plot of sheep. And so he's got his entire, uh, property in front of him that  he can work with and that he can deal with. And so each one has their herd now and they have  their property and they have the appearance that they want and they have the blessings that they  want. The prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam says that then the angel comes back to each one of  those people in the same human form as they were before. So to the leper, the angel shows up with  leprosy, a human being with leprosy. That's also poor to the one who was bald. The angel shows up  looking like the person used to look also poor. And for the one who was blind, the angel also  shows up in the form of a blind man that's also needy. And as that angel shows up to each one of  them, the angel asks them for support. The leper and the bald man deny that they used to be poor  and they say that, you know, that I earned this and they basically shoo the man away. And the  angel responds in the form of that man and says, aren't you the person that used to be such and  such? Weren't you once in need? And that person denies that they were ever poor in the first  place. And so the arrogance has overtaken them and they've forgotten the blessing of Allah  Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So the angel says back to th…
