Abû Hurayra ‘radiy-Allâhu ’anh’ said: “During a holy war, we asked him to pray so that the disbelievers would be annihilated. He said: ‘I was not sent to pronounce maledictions over people so that they should be tormented. I was sent to do favours for everybody so that people should attain peace.” Allâhu ta’âlâ declares in the hundred and seventh âyat of Sûrat-ul-Anbiyâ: “We sent thee as a mercy, as a blessing for beings.” Abû Saîd-i Khudrî ‘radiy-Allâhu ’anh’ said: “Rasûlullah ‘sallAllâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ was more bashful than Muslim virgin girls.”

Anas bin Mâlik said: “When Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ shook hands with a person, he would not take his hand away from that person’s hand before that person did so. He would not turn his face away from that person before the latter turned his face. As he sat near a person, he would sit on his two knees; to respect a person, he would not erect his blessed knee.”
