Al-Husayn radiAllahu 'anhu said, “I asked my father about the Prophet’s behavior with those who kept his company and he said, ‘The Prophet salla Allahu 'alayhi wasallam was always smiling. He was of affable disposition, gentle. He was neither harsh nor coarse, nor boisterous or foul mouthed. He was not given to excessive criticism or praise. Whenever there was something he did not like he would pretend not to notice it. He would never dishearten or disappoint a person who asked something of him. He forwent three things for himself: he would never criticize, find fault with, or otherwise expose anyone. He would only speak when he hoped for reward in it, and when he would speak, his Companions would lower their heads attentively, as if birds were perched atop their heads. When he would fall silent his Companions would not hastily resume their conversations [instead they would wait]. Whenever someone would speak in his presence they would remain attentively silent until he was finished speaking. He would engage them in conversation. He would laugh at the same things that made them laugh, and marvel at the same things they marveled at. He would bear patiently the crude speech or unabashed request of the stranger, although the Companions would rebuke the person. He would say to them, “If you see someone in need making requests, bring him to me.” He never accepted the praise of anyone unless it was someone who is requiting him for something. He would never interrupt anyone’s speech; he would wait until someone was done speaking, after which he would either forbid that person or stand up and leave.”’” Taken from: http://www.ihsanica.com/nabahani_darayn_vol2.html

al-Salam 'alaykum, In the name of Allah, the Compassionate the Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. May prayers and salutations be upon the master of the two worlds, our liege lord Muhammad, and upon his pure family, noble Companions, and all who follow his exemplary way. Here is another beautiful piece by Sheikh Muhammad Khalid Thabit. "The Prophet’s (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) complete beauty has not been fully manifested, for if it was disclosed to us in full, our eyes would be unable to behold him (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The similes, therefore, that are used to describe him (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) are only for the sake of approximating and drawing similitudes, for the Prophet’s essence (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is far too exquisite and his honor is far loftier."
