It is essential to inculcate in one the reverence and respect for the lofty character and habits of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). It is necessary that the morals of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) become established in ones heart so that love for Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) becomes dominant in the heart and eagerness to follow the holy character of Nabi-e-Kareem (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) is induced in the Believer. Some aayaat and ahadith will be mentioned in this regard.
1. Allah Ta’ala says:
“Verily, you (Muhammad) are on a lofty character.”
(Surah Noon)
2. Allah Ta’ala says:
“The Nabi is inconvenienced by this act (but he does not make this known); he takes you into consideration (by his silence). But Allah speaks plainly and cares not (for anyone).”
(Surah Ahzaab)
This is a reference to a particular incident. Some Companions stayed longer than what was proper on this occasion at the home of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) who was anxious to retire for the night. They continued in conversation. Although Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was inconvenienced by their late stay, he nevertheless, refrained from asking them to leave, not wishing to hurt their feelings. This reticence of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was in regard to his personal matters and not to such affairs which came within the purview of Tableegh.
3. Hadhrat Anas (radiallahu anhu) narrates:
“I served Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) for ten years, but never did he speak a word of rebuke to me; he never said to me: ‘Why did you do this and why did you not do that?
(Bukhari, Muslim)
“Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was the kindest in disposition. Once Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) asked me to do something, but I refused while in my heart I intended to go where ordered I then went on the errand. I passed some children playing in the market-place and I joined them. Suddenly Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) arrived there and laughing he took hold of my neck and said: ‘Are you going? I said yes, I am going now.”
(Muslim)
4. “I was walking with Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). He had on him a heavy shawl made in Najran. Along the way a Bedouin came. The Beduion grabbed hold of the Shawl and pulled it with such force that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was pulled forward close to the breast of the Beduion who said:
‘O Muhammad! Order that I too be given from the wealth of Allah, which is with you.”
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) smiled and ordered that he be granted a gift.
(Bukhari, Muslim)
5. Hadhrat Jabbir (radiallahu anhu) said that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) never refused to give anything which he was asked. If he had it, he would give it. If he did not have it, he would present an apology and make a promise to give it at another time.
(Bukhari, Muslim)
7. Hadhrat Anas (radiallahu anhu) narrates that once a man asked Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) for some goats which belonged to him (Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The goats were grazing in a valley. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) presented all the goats to the person who had asked for them. This man when he returned to his people, said:
“O my people! Become Muslims. By Allah! Muhammad gives much.”
(Muslim)
8. Jubair Bin Mut’im said that once he was walking with Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) on the occasion of his return from Hunain. A group of Beduoins surrounded Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and were asking for gifts. They grabbed from Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) everything which he had until finally they snatched even the shawl from his body. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
“At least return my shawl … If I had camels as numerous as the trees, I would have distributed them among you; you would then not have found me to be miserly and small of heart.”
(Bukhari)
9. Hadhrat Anas (radiallahu anhu) narrates that after Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) would complete Fajr Salaat, the servants of the people of Madinah would bring containers of water. Whoever presented a container, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) would immerse his holy hand in the water. This was done for the sake of barkat. Sometimes the mornings were extremely cold, nevertheless, he immersed his hand in the water.
