Manners of the Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh)

Manners of the Holy Prophet(pbuh) 

 The Holy Prophet(pbuh) sat with the people with grace and good manners. When he (pbuh) said anything, his companions listened to him very attentively and quietly. He never interrupted other people’s conversation.
 If he did not like anything, he sim­ply ignored it, and did not utter any word of disapproval. He had strictly forbidden his companions to report other people’s defects and weaknesses to him. The Holy Prophet(pbuh) shared the conversation of  the assembly. Whatever people talked about, he also talked about it. He shared in their laughter and civilised humour and himself talked about pleasant and humorous things. He enquired about people’s needs and requirements. 
 The Holy Prophet(pbuh) used to stand up from feelings of love for some people when they came to meet him. For example, when his daughter, Hazrat Fatima(R.A), came to him, he often stood up, and kissed her forehead with love. He also stood up for his foster-mother, Bibi Halima and spread a sheet of cloth for her to sit down. The Holy Prophet(pbuh) never spoke loudly or in an unseeming manner. 
He was never harsh and never picked a quarrel with anybody. His speech was extremely soft and sweet and cast a spell over his audience whenever he spoke. His speech was brief and-short. It was full of truth, piety, wisdom and morality. The Holy Prophet(pbuh) used to speak moderately, neither slow nor fast, with pauses in between. This enabled the listeners to understand and remember whatever he said.The Holy Prophet(pbuh) was not talkative. He spoke in a distinct and leisurely manner. 
His wife, Hazrat Ayesha(R.A), said to the people: “Allah’s Messenger did not go on talking rapidly as you do, but spaced out his words, so that those who sat with him could remember them.” It was his habit that whenever he met anyone, he was the first to greet him and to shake hands. 
He did not withdraw his hand until the other did so, and did not turn his face away until the other did so.
 He listened attentively to anyone who spoke to him and turned to him with all his being. When he went shopping in the market, he always passed by the people quietly with a smile. 
 No one who sat in his company ever felt that the holy prophet(pbuh) was rude to him or that he ignored him. He never offended or humiliated anyone by his word or deed. 
No one ever heard anything bad from him nor did he ever use bad language. 
Everyone sitting in his company felt that he was being treated with the utmost respect and honour. It is reported by one of his companions that the holy prophet(pbuh) said: “ The people from among you who are dear to me and will sit close to me on the Day of Judgement are those who have good manners and are polite. ” Once, he was asked what deeds would take people to Paradise. He replied: “Fear of Allah and politeness. ” He once said that there were places in Heaven for those people who spoke with politeness and gentleness. In short, the holy prophet(pbuh) was a perfect model of politeness, fine man­ners and decency. 
He was unparalleled in manners and character. Whoever came into contact with him was deeply impressed by his qualities. They loved him for his good manners, politeness and friendly behaviour. He spoke to everyone with civility and politeness and taught others to do the same by his personal example. It was this quality that won him the support and admiration of even his bitter and deadly enemies.
