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. >>
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.
