6.3 Continuation of Description of His صلى الله عليه وسلم Manners
His Bread
'A'isha عنھا الله رضي reported: The family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم are to their fill bread made of barley for two successive days until Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم died.
His Abstinence صلى الله عليه وسلم From The Worldly Life
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "I would not like to have gold equal to this mountain of Uhud, unless nothing of it - not even a single Dinar of it - remains with me for more than three days, except something that I would keep for repaying debts. I would have spent all of it (distributed it) amongst Allah's Slaves like this, and like this, and like this."
Never Cursed
A’isha عنھا الله رضي said: "It was not the nature of Allah’s messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم to talk indecently, nor did he engage himself in the use of obscene language. Nor did he shout and talk in the bazaars (which is against dignity). He did not avenge a bad deed with a bad one, but forgave it, and thereafter did not even mention it."
Never Touched a Woman’s Hand He Wasn’t Married to
A’isha عنھا الله رضي said: “…His صلى الله عليه وسلم palm never touched the palm of a woman…”
How He صلى الله عليه وسلم Lived
‘Umar bin Khattab عنھ الله رضي said: “I entered upon the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم when he was (sitting) on a reed mat. I sat down and (saw that) he was wearing a waist wrap, and there was no other barrier between him and the mat but his waist wrap, and the reed mat had made marks on his side. And I saw a handful of barley, nearly a Sa’, and some acacia leaves, in a corner of the room, and a skin hanging up. My eyes flowed with tears, and he said: ‘Why are you weeping, O son of Khattab?’ I said: ‘O Prophet of Allah, why should I not weep? This mat has made marks on your side, and this is all you have accumulated, I cannot see anything other than what I see (here), while Chosroes and Caesar live among fruits and rivers. You are the Prophet of Allah and His Chosen One, and this is what you have accumulated.’ He said: ‘O son of Khattab, does it not please you (to know) that (these things) are for us in the hereafter and for them in this world?’ He said: ‘Yes.’”
