Prophet Abdullah I am going to tell you a story like Kata-kata. It is about the people in Mecca. The one who fell into the water is Prophet [[strikethrough]] Abdullah [[/strikethrough]] Abdulmatali. I am going to tell you a story. It is no funny story. It is about Prophet Abdullah. When the prophet was an adult he was a very handsome boy. He left his home in Mecca and took a walk to another village. His father said: Where are you going? He said: I am going to Parang Haunain, a beautiful place where there is a beautiful woman. When he reached the village, he met a beautiful woman who lived there named Sitirasam, a daughter of a prophet. Sitirasam said to Abdullash: You are the most handome man I have seen. Prophet Abdullah said: You are the most beautiful woman in this village. No one is more beautiful than you. Abdullah worked very hard so that he could marry Sitirasam. Abdullah said: If you are a good woman answer me truthfully. You are a good woman and have never lied to me yet. Siti said: If you are really sincere, I will accept your love. But if you are not sincere, I don't want your love. Prophet Abdullash said: When will be married? Siti said: We will be married in one week. Prophet said: You are the most beautiful woman in this village. In what place and on what day will we be married. Siti said: You are really sincere we will be married in Parang Haunain, my home place. The prophet went immediately to his father's palace in Mecca. When he arrived at home he told his father of his intentions to be married. The father said: Who is the woman you want to marry? P. Abdullah said: Sitirasam is her name.
