The Night of the Hungry Children
When Umar ibn Al-Khattab radiyallahu anhu was leader of the Muslims, he walked at night to see how people were living. One cold night he found a mother boiling only water to calm her hungry children to sleep, who complained that the leader had not cared for them. Without saying who he was, Umar carried a sack of flour from the storehouse on his own shoulders, cooked for them himself and stayed until the children had eaten and fallen asleep.
