6. Description of His صلى الله عليه وسلم Manners
His Companions Respect for Him
Amr ibn al- ‘Aas عنھ الله رضي said: “there was none dearer to me than the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and none was more sublime in my eyes than He, never could I pluck courage to catch a full glimpse of his face due to its splendour. So, if I am asked to describe his features, I cannot do that for I have not eyed him fully.”
And ‘Urwah ibn Mas’ud عنھ الله رضي when describing him to the Quraish on the day of Hudaibiyyah (peace treaty) said: “By Allah I have never seen any king respected by his courtiers as much as Muhammad is respected by his companions. By Allah, if he spat, the spittle would fall in the hand of one of them (i.e. the Prophet's companions) who would rub it on his face and skin; if he ordered them, they would carry out his order immediately; if he performed ablution, they would struggle to take the remaining water; and when they spoke, they would lower their voices and would not look at his face constantly out of respect.”
His Manners with Allah
Abdullah ibn ash-Shikhkhir عنھ الله رضي said: “and we said: You are our lord (sayyid). To this he replied: The lord is Allah, the Blessed and Exalted. Then we said: you are most endowed with excellence and superiority from among us. To this he replied: Say what you have to say, or part of what you have to say, and do not let the devil get you carried away.
His Courage
Ali ibn Abi Talib ھJعن الله يJرض said: “when the fighting intensified and the two sides met in battle, we sought shelter with the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and no one was closer to the enemy than him.”
His Fear of Allah
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “…By Allah, I am more submissive to Allah and more afraid of Him than you…”
Goodness to His Family
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "The best of you is the one who is best to his wife, and I am the best of you to my wives."
