After a while, he added, "I see you are alone." The child laughed and said happily, "It took me a long time to get rid of my nurse. She thought I was behind those fences; but can't you see me in this garden?" The child stared Looking at the face of the prophet, he said again, saying that he was also alone.How do you deal with your nanny? "The Prophet replied: "Ah, that is another matter.To be honest, I can't get away from my nanny all the time.But now, when I enter the garden, the nurse is looking for me behind the hedge. "

The child clapped his hands and said loudly: "Then, you are a lost person like me! Wouldn't it be nice to be lost?" Then, the child asked again, "Who are you?" Call the Prophet Shariah.You also tell me, who are you? ""I am only myself," said the child, and the hungry nurse was looking for me, and she did not know where I was." So the Prophet stared at the sky and said: I also hide from my nanny for a while, but she will find me. " "I know my nanny will find me too," said the child. At that moment, a woman could be heard calling the child's name. "Look," said the boy, "I told you the nurse will find me."

At the same time, another voice was heard calling, "Sariah, where are you?" Then the Prophet said, "Look, my children, they have found me too." Sharia looked up at the sky and replied, "Here I am." The Prophet And The Child Once on a day the prophet Sharia met a child in a garden. The child ran to him and said, "Good morrow to you, Sir," and the prophet said, "Good morrow to you, Sir." And in a moment, "I see that you are alone." Then the child said, in laughter and delight, "It took a long time to lose my nurse. She thinks I am behind those hedges; but cant you see that I am here?" Then he gazed at the prophets face and spoke again. "You are alone, too. What did you do with your nurse?"

The prophet answered and said, "Ah, that is a different thing. In very truth I cannot lose her oftentimes. But now, when I came into this garden, she was seeking after me behind the hedges." The child clapped his hands and cried out, "So you are like me! Isn't it good to be lost?" And then he said, "Who are you?" And the man answered, "They call me the prophet Sharia. And tell me, who are you?" "I am only myself," said the child, "and my nurse is seeking after me, and she does not know where I am." Then the prophet gazed into space saying, "I too have escaped my nurse for awhile, but she will find me out."

And the child said, "I know mine will find me out too." At that moment a woman's voice was heard calling the children name, "See," said the child, "I told you she would be finding me." And at the same moment another voice was heard, "Where art thou, Sharia?" And the prophet said, "See my child, they have found me also." And turning his face upward, Sharia answered, "Here I am."
