Imam Al-Ghazali summed up the Prophet’s treatment of those around him:

Everyone thought that the Prophet honored him more. Whoever came to him could see his face.

He used to call his companions by their surnames with honor and he used to give one surname who had no surname.

He was very affectionate and kind in dealing with the people.

Nobody could speak loudly in his assembly.

The Prophet’s human love, kind thought, and compassion, which turned those around him to true religion and warmed their hearts to faith, is that superior morality which all Muslims should seek to reproduce.
