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.
