Turkish Samaritan’s Generosity Shines: ‘Abu al-Dahdah’ Provides Shelter for Gaza Families
Watan-In a humanitarian gesture that garnered a lot of admiration and interaction on social media platforms, an unidentified Turkish citizen purchased 150 tents for 150 Palestinian families whose homes were destroyed by the occupation in Gaza. Due to not knowing his name or identity, the people of Gaza dubbed him “Abu al-Dahdah,” in reference to the noble companion.
A video clip showed the Turkish man walking among the tents he had erected without revealing his face, shaking hands with children who were overjoyed.
He sold his house
He sold his house, and according to a comment attached to the video, this Turkish man sold his house to donate the proceeds to buy the tents, then rented a house to live in. He provided relief to the patient and steadfast people of Gaza rooted in this land.
The comment continued: “Indeed, the reward and merit were for Abu al-Dahdah, the title bestowed upon him in emulation of the companion Abu al-Dahdah who sold 600 palm trees for one palm tree in paradise.”

The gesture of the Turkish man received praise and commendation from many social media users. “Mohammed Amin Shamie” commented: “Many unknown on earth are known in heaven,” adding: “Profit from the sale, my brother, profit from the sale.”
“Al-Alwani” replied: “His harm is that people didn’t know him, but he was known to the Lord of the heavens and His angels.” “Riyadh Al-Aboush” commented: “Mohammedan ethics that no one can match.”
According to a report by The Independent, most of the displaced people live in tents scattered throughout the streets and alleys of Rafah Governorate. However, with Israel continuing to issue evacuation orders and impose forced displacement on residents of new areas in preparation for ground entry, the displacement movement has not stopped. It continues daily, and all fleeing from tanks head towards the “City of Tents.”
But the new refugees face great difficulty in obtaining a tent as shelter, and a large portion of them are forced to stay on the streets for days until they can get one, and many times they fail to obtain it. Obtaining a tent has become nearly impossible.
