Cooperation/ Teamwork
Here is the hadith that I read and Mr.Mbengue translated.
The Prophet of Islam, Prophet Muhammad (s). was once traveling with his companions. They stopped at a place to have something to eat and then rest. They decided to slaughter a sheep and roast it.
One of them said, "I shall do the slaughtering."
The other said, "I shall remove the skin."
The third one said, "I shall do the roasting."
Each one of them volunteered to do one piece of work.
The Prophet of Islam said, "I shall collect and bring the firewood from the forest."
The companions said, "Oh Prophet! You need not take the trouble. We shall attend to everything."
The Prophet said, "I know you can do everything. But I do not like to enjoy a preferential treatment from you. God Almighty does not like to see a person distinguishing himself from his companions." Thus the Prophet went and brought firewood from the forest;
This is one of the examples set by the Prophet of Islam on co-operation and working together for a common good.
