'A'isha said that she sent a message to the players (of this armed fight) saying: I like to see them (fighting). She further said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and I stood at the door (behind him) and saw (this fight) between his ears and his shoulders they played in the mosque'.Ata' (one of the narra- tors) said: Were they persians or Abyssinians? Ibn 'Atiq told me they were Abyssinians.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was an example for us all and he showed us how to react when faced with difficult situations such as this one. He did not intervene but instead chose to watch from afar so as not to interfere with what was happening or make any rash decisions without knowing all of the facts first. This teaches us patience and understanding when faced with difficult situations as well as showing respect for those who are older than us by following their instructions without question or hesitation.
