You Are Special, Zahir!

Zahir was a kind and simple man from the desert who loved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and brought him gifts whenever he came to Madinah. One day in the market the Prophet ﷺ hugged him from behind and joked, 'Who will buy this slave?' When Zahir asked whether anyone would think him valuable, the Prophet ﷺ told him he was very valuable in the sight of Allah.
