The Prophet’s humbleness


Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)was a perfect model of modesty and humbleness. He (peace be upon him)never spoke loudly or in an unseemly manner. In the market, he always passed by the people quietly with a smile. Whenever he heard anything undesirable in an assembly, he did not say anything out of respect for the people, but the color of his face showed his feelings and the Companions became cautious. `Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said that she never saw Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him)laughing so that she could see his molar teeth, for he only used to smile.


`Abdullaah Ibn Maslamah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him)as saying: "Modesty is a part of the teachings of the previous prophets and anyone who lacks it is most likely to do whatever he likes." Zayd, may Allah be pleased with him, reported Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying: "Every religion has a character and the character of Islam is modesty."


The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) lived a simple and modest life, both in Makkah as a trader before his prophethood, and in Al-Madeenah as the head of the State after being appointed Allah’s Messenger. The change in his social status from that of a trader in Makkah to the head of the State in Al-Madeenah did not bring any change in his modest living. `Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, reported the Prophet (peace be upon him)as saying: "Do not exalt me as the Christians have exalted Jesus, son of Mary. I am just His servant, so call me Allah's Servant and Messenger."


The Prophet (peace be upon him) did not behave towards others as if he was better than they were, nor did he spurn manual work. `Abdullaah bin Abi `Awfa, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him)never disdained to go with a slave or a widow to accomplish his or her tasks. Others reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to tidy up his house, tie the camels, feed the animals, take food with his servants, and help them in kneading dough and bringing provisions from the market. Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him)used to visit the sick, attend funerals, ride on a donkey and accept a slave's invitation for a meal.  Jaabir, may Allah be pleased with him, stated that the Prophet (peace be upon him)used to slow down his pace for the sake of the weak and also prayed for them.


When `Adiyy bin Haatim, may Allah be pleased with him, came to see the Prophet (peace be upon him)he called him inside his house. A maidservant brought a cushion to rest on, but the Prophet (peace be upon him)placed it between him and `Adiyy, may Allah be pleased with him, and sat down on the floor. `Adiyy later said that he had then immediately realized that the Prophet (peace be upon him)was not a king. A similar incident was reported by `Abdullaah bin `Amr bin Al-`Aas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: “Once when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)came to my house, I gave him a cushion filled with bark, but he sat down on the floor placing the cushion between me and him.”


Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)was humble in all things. Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Prophet (peace be upon him)would accept an invitation even if he was presented barley bread and soup whose taste had changed. He also reported the Prophet (peace be upon him)as saying: "I am Allah's servant, I eat like a servant and sit like a servant.''


On one of his journeys, the Prophet,  (peace be upon him) asked his companions to roast a goat. One said that he would slaughter the animal; another said that he would skin it, while a third said that he would cook it. The Prophet (peace be upon him)then said that he would collect wood for fuel. Their response was: “O Messenger of Allah! We will do everything.” The Prophet (peace be upon him)then said: “I have no doubt that you will. But I do not like distinctions to be made, nor does Allah like any one of His servants to assert his superiority over his companions.”


His self-deprecation was such that he (peace be upon him)once said: “By Allah, I do not know, even although I am Allah’s messenger, what my fate in the next world will be, nor do I know what yours will be.”


Abu Tharr Al-Ghifaari, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates that one day he was sitting with another companion of black complexion whom he addressed as: “O black man.” When the Prophet (peace be upon him)heard of this, he was greatly displeased and cautioned Abu Tharr never to make scornful remarks to anyone, whoever he might be, and to accord equal treatment to all, adding: “No white man has any superiority over a black man.”


The Prophet (peace be upon him)once saw a wealthy Muslim gathering up his loose garments so that a certain distance would be kept between himself and a poor Muslim sitting close by. He (peace be upon him)remarked: “Do you fear that his poverty will cling to you?”


The Prophet (peace be upon him)lived like any ordinary person, and did not assume any superior rights. He once had to borrow some money from a Jew called Zayd bin Sana’a. The Jew came to demand the immediate return of the loan a few days before the expiry of the stipulated period. Tugging at the mantle around the Prophet’s shoulders, he jibed that the progeny of ‘Abd Al-Muttalib were always defaulters.


`Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, not being able to tolerate this misbehavior on the part of the Jew, started berating him, and was on the point of beating him when the Prophet (peace be upon him)said to the Jew, smiling: “There are still three days to go before the promise has to be fulfilled.” To ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, he (peace be upon him)said: “We might have had better treatment from you. You could have advised me to be more careful about the return of loans and you could have advised the Jew to be more courteous in demanding repayment.” He (peace be upon him)then requested ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, to get some dates so that the loan could be repaid, and to give the Jew an extra forty kilograms for the rebuke he had been given.


We can say that humbleness is seen in every sphere of the Prophet’s life. His way of talking, walking, sitting, eating and every aspect of his life reflected humbleness.
