Did you not read Sohaib’s post above about how Prophet saw dealt with the non-muslim woman who used to throw garbage on him? Here’s another story for you:

A Jewish man came to the Prophet saw to reclaim a debt. He grabbed the Prophet by his robe and cloak, pulled the Prophet close to his face, and said, ‘Muhammad, are you not going to give me my due? You and your clan Banu Muttalib never pay debts on time!’ Umar, one of the companions of the Prophet, got agitated and said, ‘Enemy of God, am I really hearing what you just said to God’s Prophet. I swear by the One who sent him with truth, if I were not afraid that he would blame me, I would have taken my sword and cut your head off!’ The Prophet looked calmly at Umar and censured him gently: “Umar, that is not what we needed to hear from you. You should have counseled me to pay my debts in time and asked him to seek repayment in a respectful manner. Now take him, repay him his debt from my money and give him an extra twenty measures of date.” The Jewish man was so pleasantly surprised by the Prophet’s behavior that he immediately declared his acceptance of Islam! And Hazrat Umar r.a. later on set-up a permanent stipend for a Jewish family that Prophet saw used to take care of in his lifetime.

This is my Nabi (saw).

With respect, did you not read sanjinghs post? He was ONLY critical of post 83 which stated the Prophet would have disapproved killing of a muslim. Sajsingh was making the point such comments are unfortunate. That is - replace “killing of Muslims” with “killing of humans” would meet with disapproval by the Prophet.

I actually have no doubt post 83 was quite benign. But sanksinghs point needs to be understood.
