Answer:
Walking speed of pm
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Some amongst the noble companions of the Prophet (saws)
have reported that the walking speed or pace of the Messenger of Allah (saws)
was faster than what is considered normal, and the statement they have used to
describe the normal walking pace of the Messenger of Allah (saws) was ‘as if
one were walking on a down-slope’.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
