Page 82 - The Prophet Muhammad (saas)

Accounts by his companions give many examples of the
Prophet (saas)'s courteous and considerate behavior. Because of his

being both a Messenger of Allah and a head of state, the Prophet
(saas) was in constant contact with people from all walks of life,
from the wealthy leaders of states and tribes to poor, defenceless

women and orphans. He was able to communicate with and win
the hearts of people whose social status, ways of life and customs
were very different from one another, he exhibited understanding,
patience and a desirable attitude.

As can be seen from incidents recounted by those around

him, the Prophet (saas) was most kind, above reproach, amiable
and thoughtful. He practiced the rules of courtesy and politeness in
the best and most ideal way throughout his entire life.

like all men. He is as a ruby among stones."
