Part 4- His Noble Manners

Allaah Ta’ala said:

<< Noon. By the Pen and what the (angels) write (in the Records of men). You are not, by the Grace of your Lord, a madman. And verily, for you will be an endless reward. And verily, you are on an exalted standard of character. >>

‘Aeysha -radiAllaah anha - said: ‘That his manners were that of the Qur’aan.’

Allaah Ta’ala said:

<<And by the Mercy of Allaah, you dealt with them gently. And had you been severe and harsh­ hearted, they would have broken away from about you; so pass over (their faults), and ask (Allaah’s) Forgiveness for them; and consult them in the affairs. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allaah, certainly, Allaah loves those who put their trust (in Him). >>

[al-Imran:159]

From Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin al-Aaas -radiAllaah anhumma - who said: ‘The Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- never used bad language neither did he say or do evil acts. He used to say ‘The best amongst you are those who have the best manners.’

Bukhari

From ‘Aeysha -radiAllaah anha - who said: ‘The Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- was never given the choice between two matters, except that he would choose the easier of the two, as long as it was not sinful to do so, but if it was sinful to do so, he would be the farthest away from it from amongst the people.

Allaah’s Messenger -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- never took revenge for his own sake but when what Allaah had prohibited was transgressed, then he would take revenge for Allaah’s Sake.’

Bukhari

From Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri -radiAllaah anhu - who said: ‘that the Prophet was shyer than a virgin in her private living quarters.’  

Bukhari

From Abu Huraira -radiAllaah anhu - who said: ‘The Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- never criticized any food, if he liked it he would eat it otherwise, he would leave it.’

Bukhari

From Anas bin Malik -radiAllaah anhu - who said: ‘I served the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- for ten years. I swear by Allaah, he never said a harsh word to me nor did he question me as to why I had done such-and-such or why I had not done such-and-such in a particular way.’

In another wording: ‘I served him on journeys and while resident. I swear by Allaah he never said to me about what I did ‘Why did you do this like this?’ or about something that I had not done, ‘Why did you not do this in this way?’    

Muslim

Also from Anas -radiAllaah anhu- who said: ‘The Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam - was the best of the people in his manners.’

Muslim

From Jabir bin Abdullah -radiAllaah anhu - who said: ‘The Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- never said no to anything that he was asked for.’

Muslim

From Anas -radiAllaah anhu- who said Allaah’s Messenger -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- was never asked for anything for the sake of Islaam except that he would give it.

Anas mentions that a man came to him and so he gave him some sheep.  The man then went back to his people and said: ‘O people accept Islaam, for Muhammad gives so much charity he has no fear of want.’

Muslim

From Ibn Abbas -radiAllaah anhuma- that Allaah’s Messenger -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- was the most prolific of people in doing good. He was generous to the utmost in the month of Ramadan. Indeed Jibreel -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- would meet him every year during the month of Ramadan up until its end.  Allaah’s Messenger -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- would recite the Qur’aan to him and when Jibreel would meet him, Allaah’s Messenger -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- would be the most generous in goodness; more so than the blowing wind.

Muslim

The intent of the meaning ‘more so than the blowing wind’ is that he was swift and comprehensive in doing good deeds.

All Praise belongs to Allaah, may His peace

and blessings be upon our final

Prophet Muhammad, his

family, his companions

and all those who

follow his

guidance.

1- 205 – From Abu Huraira, From the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- that he said:

‘I order you with three and I prohibit you from three; I order you to worship Allaah and not to associate anyone with Him.

Hold together to the Rope of Allaah and do not separate. 

Obey the one whom Allaah places as a ruler over you.

And I prohibit you from gossip, asking too many questions and wasting wealth.’

No. 685

2- 206 -From Jaabir bin Sulayman or Saleem that he said:

‘I came to the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- while he was sitting with his Companions, I asked: 'Which one of you is the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-?  Either the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- gestured to himself or the people motioned to him.

He was sitting with his knees against his chest with a garment and its trimming had covered his feet.

I said: ‘O Messenger of Allaah! I am ignorant about things so teach me.’

The Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said: ‘Fear Allaah - Azza wa Jal -, do not scorn any good deed even if you pour from a bucket into a vessel for the person who serves drinks.

Beware of arrogance!  Indeed Allaah - Tabarak wa Ta'ala - does not love arrogance.  If a person curses you and disgraces you with something which he knows about you, then do not disgrace him with something you know about him, so you will have his reward and he will have his sin.  Don’t you dare ever curse anyone.’

No.770

3- 208 - From Jaabir from the Prophet:

‘The most beloved of food to Allaah is that which many hands partake of.’ No.895

4- 209 – From  Ibn Umar who said: ‘A man came to the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said: ‘O Messenger of Allaah!  Which of the people are the most beloved to Allaah and which of the actions are most beloved to Allaah?’

The Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said: ‘The most beloved of the people to Allaah are the most beneficial for the people.  The most beloved of actions to Allaah –Azza wa Jal- are to cause happiness to reach a Muslim, to relieve him from a hardship, to settle a debt for a Muslim or to repel hunger from him. For me to walk with a brother in order to assist him is more beloved to me than to make 'Itikaf in this Masjid (Masjid al-Madeenah) for a month.

Whoever holds back his anger then Allaah hides his mistakes.  Whoever suppresses his anger – even though he is not scared to show it, but withholds due to the truth - Allaah fills his heart with hope on the day of Judgement.

Whoever walks with his brother to assist him with a need until he has helped him completely, then Allaah plants his feet firmly on the day people will not stand firmly.  Indeed bad behaviour spoils good actions, just as vinegar spoils honey.’
