6.1 Continuation of Description of His صلى الله عليه وسلم Manners
His Humility
‘Uqbah ibn ‘Amir عنھ الله رضي said: “A man came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and his voice trembled out of awe as he spoke to him. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said to him, “Be calm, for I am not a king. Verily, I am only the son of a woman who ate dried meat.”
Served His Family
Narrated Al-Aswad عنھ الله رضي :I asked A’isha عنھا الله رضي what did the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم use to do at home. She replied. "He used to keep himself busy serving his family and when it was time for the prayer, he would get up for prayer."
He Did Not Pay Mind to the Ignorant
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Does it not astonish you how Allah protects me from the Quraish's abusing and cursing? They abuse Mudhammam and curse Mudhammam while I am Muhammad (and not Mudhammam).
His Truthfulness
Narrated `Abdullah ibn Mas’ud عنھ الله رضي :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم , The Truthful and Truly Inspired (as-Saadiqul-masduq) said…
His Manners With Those Who Served Him.
Anas عنھ الله رضي narrated: I served Allah’s messenger for ten years, and he never said 'Uff' (an expression of disapproval) to me. He never said, 'why did you do that?' for something I had done, nor did he ever say, 'why did you not do such and such' for something I had not done.
He صلى الله عليه وسلم Never Stood Out Among His Companions
Anas bin Malik عنھ الله رضي said: "While we were sitting in the Masjid, a man came on a camel and made it kneel in the Masjid, then he tied it and said to them: 'Which of you is Muhammad?' The Messenger of Allah was reclining amid his Companions, and we said to him: This white man who is reclining.' The man said to him: 'O son of 'Abdul-Muttalib.' The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: 'I have answered you.' The man said; 'O Muhammad, I am going to ask you questions, and I will be harsh in asking; do not get upset. The man said: 'I adjure you by your Lord and the Lord of those who came before you, has Allah sent you to all the people?' The Messenger of Allah said: 'By Allah, yes.' He said; 'I adjure you by Allah, has Allah commanded you to offer five prayers each day and night?' The Messenger of Allah said: 'By Allah, yes.; He said: 'I adjure you by Allah, has Allah commanded you to fast this month each year? The Messenger of Allah said: 'By Allah, Yes.' He said: 'I adjure you by Allah, has Allah commanded you to take this charity from our rich and distribute it among our poor?' The Messenger of Allah said. 'By Allah, yes.' The man said: 'I believe in that which you have brought, and I am the envoy of my people who are coming after me. I am Dimam bin Tha’labah, the brother of Banu Sa’ad bin Bakr."'
