One day my mother told me, \u2018Dear son! when you were Christian, your treatment towards me was not like this. How has your behavior changed since you turned to this new religion?\u201dI answered, \u201cOne of the descendants of our prophet has ordered me to do so.\u201dMy mother asked, \u201cIs he a prophet?\u201dI said, \u201cNo, he is the son of one of the prophets.\u201dMy mother said, \u201cMy son! This man is a prophet, because his order is the advice of the prophets.\u201dI said, \u201cMother, my prophet is the last prophet, and after him, no prophet will be appointed. That man is the son of that prophet.\u201d&nbsp;My mother said, \u201cYour religion is the&nbsp;<strong>best religion<\/strong>, present it to me.\u201d And I presented Islam to her, and taught it to her; and she converted to Islam too, and performed the prayers of the noon, and the afternoon, and the Maghrib, and the evening.Zakaria says, \u201cIn the night, my mother showed a symptom, and got sick. She turned to me and told me, \u2018My son, repeat what you taught me.\u2019 And I repeated them.
