Manners of the Prophet


Anas bin Malik (radi Allahu anhu) said: “Whenever the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) shook hands with a man, he would not withdraw his hand until the latter withdrew his, and he would also not turn his face away until the latter turned away his. And the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) used not to walk in front of his friends.” [Tirmidhi]

These are the manners by which we show respect and love to people. This is the humble and considerate manner in which Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) likes us to deal with our fellow humans.

These manners are referred to in Surah Luqman: “And do not turn your cheek away from people, and do not walk on the earth haughtily. Surely, Allah does not like anyone who is arrogant, proud. And be moderate in your walk, and lower your voice. Surely, the ugliest of voices is the voice of the donkey." [Ayaat 18-19]

A reminder: Sometimes we forget that most deserving of our good manners are our parents, spouses, in-laws and immediate family. Not only are they also a part of the brotherhood of Islam but are more deserving than our friends of our cheerful and respectful conduct.

Salam,

I found this appropriate to share following examples too:

A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘O Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet (saw) said: Your mother. The man said, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man further asked, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man asked again, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet said: Then your father. (Bukhari, Muslim)

A man once consulted the Prophet Muhammad about taking part in a military campaign. The Prophet asked the man if his mother was still living. When told that she was alive, the Prophet said: “(Then) stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet.” (Al-Tirmidhi)

On another occasion, the Prophet said: “God has forbidden for you to be undutiful to your mothers.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
