It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man addressed the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O our master! And O son of our master! O the one who is the best among us and the offspring of the most excellent among us. But when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard this, he said: O people! Say what is known (i.e., appropriate), and never let Satan lead you into exaggeration. I am Muhammad, son of Abdullah, and the Messenger of Allah. By Allah! I do not like that you raise me above the rank which Allah, the Exalted, has given me.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians exaggerated regarding Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him). I am merely Allah's servant and His Messenger.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Jibreel (peace be upon him) was sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he looked towards the sky, and suddenly a certain angel was descending from above. Jibreel (peace be upon him) said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): This angel, since the time he was created, has never come down to the earth until now. When he came, he said: O Muhammad! Your Lord has sent me to you with this message: He will make you a king or a servant and Messenger? Jibreel (peace be upon him) said to you (peace and blessings be upon him): O Muhammad! (peace and blessings be upon him) Show humility to your Lord. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I wish to be Allah’s servant and Messenger.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that (the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was so humble that) a slave girl from Madinah would come and take the hand of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and lead him away for any task she needed (and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would go with her without any hesitation).

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that on one of the streets of Madinah Munawwarah, a woman met the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have something to ask of you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O mother of so-and-so! Sit in whichever street or path of Madinah you wish, I will also sit with you. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that she sat down and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also sat with her, until her need was fulfilled.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that after performing Tawaf, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the place where Zamzam water was being served and said: "Give me some to drink." They said: "People keep affecting this water; we will bring (clean) water for you from the house." But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no need for that; give me to drink from the same place where people are drinking."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that in the marketplace of Madinah, a Jew said: "By the One Who gave Musa superiority over all mankind." Upon hearing these words, an Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), out of zeal, slapped him and said: "How dare you say this while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is present among us?" That Jew went to complain to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse in response: {وَنُفِخَ فِی الصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَنْ فِی السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِی الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَنْ شَآئَ اللّٰہُ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِیہِ أُخْرٰی فَإِذَا ہُمْ قِیَامٌیَنْظُرُونَ} … And when the Trumpet will be blown for the first time, the creatures of the heavens will fall unconscious except those whom Allah wills. Then it will be blown again, and all will rise up, looking on. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: At that time, I will be the first to regain consciousness and raise my head, but I will see that Musa (peace be upon him) is standing, holding one of the pillars of the Throne. I will not know whether he regained consciousness before me or whether he is among those who were exempted from falling unconscious. And (remember that) whoever says that I (Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) am superior to Yunus bin Matta, he has spoken incorrectly.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Baqi’ al-Gharqad on a very hot day, and people were walking behind him. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard the sound of the people’s shoes, it was burdensome for him, so he sat down right there until the people passed ahead of him, so that no pride would arise in his heart (because people were walking behind him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Baqi’ al-Gharqad, he saw two graves; people had buried two men in them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped there and asked:“Who have you buried here today?”The Companions replied:“O Messenger of Allah! These are such-and-such two men.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“They are being punished in their graves right now.”The Companions asked:“O Messenger of Allah! What is the reason for their punishment?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“One of them did not protect himself from urine, and the other used to carry tales (gossip).”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took a fresh twig, split it, and placed it on both graves. The Companions asked:“O Messenger of Allah! Why did you do this?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Because of this, their punishment will be lightened.”The Companions said:“O Messenger of Allah! For how long will Allah punish them?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“This is a matter of the unseen, which no one knows except Allah.”Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“If the changing states of your hearts or excessive speech did not occur, you would also hear what I hear.”

(That is, what was his occupation at home?) She said: (When the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came home, he used to do the same kind of work) as you do, for example, he would mend his own shoes and sew his own clothes.
