One morning Mohammed was saying morning prayers in the mosque. Among those who prayed with the prophet was one devout Muslim.
Mohammed began a verse from the Koran in which Pharaoh said: “I am your true god.” Hearing this, the believer exclaimed in a fit of anger:
- Boastful son of a bitch!
The Prophet said nothing, but after the prayer everyone attacked the screamer:
- Be ashamed! Your prayer offended God. You not only broke the sacred silence, but also cursed dirtyly in the presence of God's prophet.
The poor man trembled with fear until the Archangel Gabriel appeared before the prophet and said:
- God welcomes you and wishes that these people stop scolding the simple-minded Muslim; his sincere abuse touched the heart of the Lord more than the righteous prayers of the others.
