“[Sheikh 'Abd al-Rahman al-Shaghouri] stopped to buy some apples from a cart in front of the mosque.
He took the plastic bag from the seller and filled it with the worst apples he could find—nicked, bruised, and worm-holed—which he chose as carefully as most people choose good ones, then paid for it and with a smile shook hands with the man before he went up the hill to the sheikh's home.
When I reflected on his strange "shopping," I realized that it had been to save the apple man from having to throw any out. The incident summed up the sheikh's personality and life, which was based on futuwwa - putting others ahead of oneself.”
