BEAUTIFUL MANNERS OF RASULULLAH

It is written in the book Masabih that Anas bin Malik ‘radiy-Allahu anh’ said, “I served Rasulullah for ten years. He never uttered “Ugh!” towards me. He never asked me why I had done this or why I hadn’t done that.” Again in Masabih Anas bin Malik said, “Rasulullah was the most beautiful-natured of human beings. One day, he told me to go to some place. I said, ‘By Allah, I won’t’. But I did. I went out to do his command. Children were playing in the street. As I passed them, I looked round. Rasulullah was coming behind me. His blessed face was pleasant. He said, ‘O Anas! Did you go to the place I told you?’ I said, ‘Yes, O Rasulullah, I am going there. ’ ”

Abu Hurayra ‘radiy-Allahu anh’ said, “During a holy war, we asked him to pray so that the disbelievers would be annihilated. He said, ‘I was not sent to curse people so that they will be tormented. I was sent to do favours for everybody so that people will attain ease.” Allahu ta’ala declares in the hundred and seventh ayat [1] of the Surat-ul-Anbiya [2], “We sent thee as a mercy, as a blessing for beings.”

Abu Said-i Khudri ‘radiy-Allahu anh’ said, “Rasulullah ‘sall-Allahu alaihi wa sallam’ was more bashful than Muslim virgin girls.”
