Allaah granted his Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam,
qualities of perfection and noble characteristics which distinguished him from
all other human beings. Consequently, he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam,
combined all the possible virtuous human traits and was the best leading
example in treating others with benevolence. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam,
was a sublime example in his interactions with people, old and young, believers
and disbelievers, the common people and close Companions. He, sallallaahu
‘alayhi wa sallam, would support the oppressed, aid the needy, persevere
patiently despite the harm he faced from foolish people, face evil with
goodness, meet people with a smiling and cheerful face and was unfailingly
generous and kind when dealing with people.
As soon as his enemies discovered his extraordinary personality
and his exceptional manners, they immediately responded to his call and
believed in the message he was preaching. One such person who came to believe
in him told him after accepting Islaam: ” I swear by Allaah O Muhammad! There
was no one on the face of the earth who was more detested to me than you.
However, now your religion (the religion you are conveying) is the dearest
religion to me. There was no land more hated by me than your land, but now it
is the dearest part of earth to me.” In this book, you will come to know the
Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and how he dealt with different types
of people, each according to their qualities and particular circumstances. You
will know him as a husband, a father, a neighbor, a friend, as a buyer and a
seller, a judge, and someone who gave jurisprudential verdicts. Allaah The
Almighty sent the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, as a slave and a
Messenger and bestowed upon him the best manners and the most beautiful
qualities. We have outlined some of the interpersonal interactions of the
Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, in order to highlight how a person
whose manners are in consonance with the teachings of the Qur’aan should be.
By learning about his qualities and the way he, sallallaahu
‘alayhi wa sallam, interacted with people, one would know how he dealt with
people in their homes, in the market and other places in all walks of life. How
did this unlettered Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, treat people
whether they were relatives or strangers, virtuous or sinners, noble or evil?
What benefit can one derive by studying his qualities and manners, that reflect
his nobility, generosity and perfect manners? This book answers all these
questions and more, and paints a vivid picture of the Prophet, sallallaahu
‘alayhi wa sallam, who was sent by his Lord to perfect good manners.
