After being driven from Ta’if under a shower of stones, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Zayd take shelter in a vineyard, wounded and exhausted. The vineyard owners send Addas with a plate of grapes for the two travelers. When the Prophet says Bismillah before eating, Addas becomes curious, and their conversation turns to Nineveh, Prophet Yunus (Jonah), and the shared message of Allah’s prophets. Addas accepts Islam and wishes to stay near him. Their meeting shows how a small kindness and a sincere word can bring hope and lasting goodness during hardship.
