It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I served the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for ten years. (In one narration, nine years are mentioned.) Whatever command the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me, and then if I was negligent or made a mistake in it, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never reproached me. And if anyone from the household of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ever spoke harshly to me, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: Leave him alone, if it was destined to happen, it would have happened.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was not one who abused, cursed, or spoke obscenely. When he had to reprimand someone, he would only say: "What is the matter with him, may his forehead be dusted."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: O two-eared one.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah Bajali, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: Since I became a Muslim, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, never prevented me from coming to him, and whenever he, peace and blessings be upon him, saw me, he smiled.

Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never cursed any Muslim by name, nor did he ever take revenge for any mistreatment done to him, except when the limits of Allah the Exalted were violated. Nor did he (peace and blessings be upon him) ever strike anyone with his hand, except in the matter of Allah’s cause. Whenever anything was asked from him, he (peace and blessings be upon him) never refused it, except if it was something sinful. If it was a sinful matter, then he would be the farthest from it. And whenever he (peace and blessings be upon him) was given a choice between two matters, he would choose the easier of the two, as long as it was not sinful. And when he (peace and blessings be upon him) would finish reviewing the Qur’an with Jibreel (peace be upon him), he would become even more generous than before.

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.
