Although there are numerous
Ayahs of the Glorious Qur’an
praising the Noble Prophet
(s.a.w.a.s.), but some of the
Ayahs relating to his excellent
manners are reproduced below:
Surah al-Qalam Ayah 4; “You have attained a great moral standard”
Surah al-Younus Ayah 128: “A messenger from your own people has come to
you.
Your destruction and
suffering are extremely grievous
to him. He really cares about
you and is very compassionate
and merciful to the believers.”
What is the “Sunnah of the Noble Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.)”?
Sunnah is whatever he did, whatever he prohibited others to do, if in
front of him, an act was done and
he did not object to it.
Appended below are the sayings
of the Noble Prophet
(s.a.w.a.s.), whose references
may be seen in the book given at
the end:
I was sent with the most noble
and refined character.
Allah distinguished His Prophet
with ten character traits;
Certainty, contentment,
patience, thankfulness,
forbearance, good manners,
generosity, honor, bravery, and
valor.
He used to be the first to greet
people, even he used to say
salaam to the children.
He would give equal attention to
everyone in his company; hence
everyone thought that he was
dearest to him. He was always
cheerful, tender with everyone
and not rude to them.
When he shook hands with
someone, he would never withdraw
his hands until the other person
withdrew his hand first and when
he was occupied with someone in
fulfilling his needs or
conversing with him, he would
never leave until the person
himself left first.
He would divide his attention
between his companions; he would
look at each one of them
equally.
He would smile as he spoke.
He would usually sit facing the
Qiblah-Ka’aba.
He would never take revenge for
himself, rather he would
forgive.
If he did not see his brothers
for three days, he would inquire
about him, if the person is
sick, he would visit him.
Anas served him for nine years
but he never asked Anas: “Why
did you do this?”
He would prefer his guests over
himself by offering his cushion
on which he reclined, if the
guest refused, he insisted.
When he would enter a place, he
would at the nearest space that
was available as he entered.
We, the Prophets, have been
ordered to speak to the people
at their level of comprehension.
My Lord commanded me to be
gracious with the people just as
He ordered me to perform
obligatory actions.
Our way, the way of Ahlul Bayt,
is: Forgiving the ones who wrong
us and giving to the ones who
deprive us.
My Lord commanded me to love the
needy from among the Muslims.
Surely, patience, truthfulness,
clemency, and good morals are
from the “akhlaq” of the
Prophets.
Jibra’il descended upon me with
a message from the Lord of the
Universe and said: “O Muhammad!
You must adopt a good character,
for a bad character drives away
the good of this world and the
hereafter. Surely, those who
have the greatest semblance to
me are those with the best
character.
Have I not forbidden you to
withhold anything for tomorrow?
Verily Allah brings the
sustenance for every morrow.
Return what has been committed
to your trust.
When a guest came to visit him,
he would eat with him, and would
not stop eating until the guest
had stopped eating, and would
accompany the guest to the door
when he departs.
When something made him sad, he
would take to prayer.
When any Muslim would say: “Salamu
Alayka”, he would reply: “Wa
Alayka al-Salam Wa Rahmatullah”.
If he said: “As-Salamu Alayka Wa
Rahmatulla”, The Prophet
(s.a.w.a.s.) would reply: “Wa
Alayka al-Salam Wa Rahmatulla Wa
Barkatu”
He wore his ring with the stone
facing the inside of his hand
and he would look at it often.
Imam Ali (a.s.) said: “The Noble
Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.) never
touched the hands of women when
they pay allegiance, a bowl of
water was brought, he will put
his hand in it and withdraw,
then the women will dip their
hands.”
