MULAYKAH BINT MUNKADAR RA--------------------------------When Imam Malik Ibn
Dinar was making Tawaaf (circulation of the Kaba) he heard a woman saying "My
Lord! Have mercy on me; I have come from a very distant place to Thy House. My
Lord! I have come hopeful of Your favours and beneficence. Do not make me
dependant on anyone but you".
Having heard these words, the Imam and his companions asked her later in the
day to speak to them some words of wisdom. Her speech was persuasive and it
left a strong and good opinion on them. After some time she asked them to leave
her alone as her talking began interfering with her worship.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom
(i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue
with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy
Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in
His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I
am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of
camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
