Jâbir bin Sumra says: “Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ used to talk very little. He used to talk when necessary or when he was asked a question.” This means to say that a Muslim should not talk nonsense; instead, he should keep silent. He used to speak very clearly and methodically; his words would be understood easily. Anas bin Mâlik said: “Rasûlullah would visit invalids, walk behind the dead as they were taken to the cemetery, and accept invitations. 

He would ride a donkey. I saw him in the holy war of Khayber. He rode a donkey with a rope halter. When Rasûlullah went out after morning prayer, children and workers of Medina would bring containers full of water before him. They would beg him to dip his blessed finger into the water. Winter as it might be, he would put his blessed finger into all the containers one by one, thus pleasing them.” Again, Anas bin Mâlik ‘radiy-Allâhu ’anh’ said: “If a little girl held Rasûlullah’s hand and wanted to take him somewhere for some matter, he would go with her and solve her problem.” Hadrat Jâbir ‘radiy-Allâhu ’anh’, said: “Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ was never heard to say ‘no’ for anything asked from him.”
