HIS HUMILITY
Narrated by Anas, “A man said to the Messenger of Allah, “O master and the son of our master. O, the best of us and the son of the best of us.” So the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “O people, say what you have to say, do not allow the Shaitan fascinate you. I am Muhammad bin Abdullah, the Slave of Allah and his Messenger. By Allah I do not like that you raise me above the station that Allah has raised me.”
In Saheeh Muslim from ‘Umar bin al-Khattab, he said, “The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Do not exaggerate your praise of me like the Christians exaggerated the praise of ‘Eesa [Jesus] the son of Maryam, for I am only the Slave of Allah and his Messenger.”
Narrated by al-Aswad, he said, “I said to ‘A’ishah, “What did the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) do for his family?” She said, “He was in the service of his family, then when the time for prayer entered he left for the prayer.”
Narrated by ‘Urwah and Hisham bin ‘Urwah from his father, he said, “A man asked ‘A’ishah, “Did the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) work in the house? She said, “Yes, the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) used to repair his sandals, sew his thawb and work in the house just as any of you work in the house.”
Narrated by ‘Amrah, she said, “I said to ‘A’ishah, how was the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) with his family?” She said, “He was the softest of people, the most noble of them and he was someone who was cheerful and smiling.”
Narrated by Anas, he said, “The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) would make much remembrance of Allah, minimize idle speech, ride a donkey, wear wool and respond to the invitations of the kings. I indeed saw him in the Battle of Khaibar on a donkey, its rein was of fiber.”
Narrated by Abdullah bin Abu ’Awfa, he said, “The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) would make much remembrance of Allah, minimize idle speech, lengthen the prayer, shorten the Khutbah, he was not too haughty to [prevent him] walk with a slave, nor the widows in order that he serves their needs.”
Narrated by Abu Moosa, he said, “The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) would ride the donkey, wear wool [clothing], milk the sheep and he would come to honor the guest.”
Narrated by Sahl Mawla Ghunaimah – he was a Christian from the people of Maris and he was in the house of his uncle – and he said, “Today I read from the scripture [Bible] of my uncle and I saw in it a page without lines and I saw on it the description of Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him): “Not tall nor short, white [complexion] with two plaits, between his shoulders is the seal [of the Prophets], he sits much in a state of Ihtiba’, he does not accept charity, he rides the donkey and camel, he milks sheep, wears a stitched shirt and whoever does that is free from arrogance, he is from the descendants of Isma‘eel and his name is Ahmad.” When my uncle came and saw that I read it, he hit me and said “why did you open this?” I said, “It is the description of Ahmad.” So he said, “He hasn’t arrived yet.”
Narrated by Anas, he said, “I never saw anyone who was more merciful to children than the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him).”
And al-Bukhari narrated from Anas, “The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by some children playing and gave Salaam to them.”
