His Guidance

When the Prophet (peace be upun him) gave a sermon his eyes would redden and his voice would become louder. His anger would increase to a point as if he was warning an army and would say:
"[The Last Hour will come] to you by morning or evening."
He would also say: "I and the Hour have been sent like these two", and join his index and middle fingers.
And he would say: "Indeed, the best of speech is the Book of Allah and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad, and the worst matters [in religion] are the newly devised ones, and every innovation is misguidance.

He (peace be upun him) used to sleep either on a mattress, a leather mat, a straw mat, on the ground or on a bed. His mattress was made of leather stuffed with fibre, and so was his pillow.

He (peace be upun him) would not sleep more than he needed, neither would he deny himself the sleep he needed.

He (peace be upun him) used to sleep in the early part of the night and pray in the latter part. He might also spend the first part of the night taking care of the affairs of Muslims.

The Prophet (peace be upun him) used scent often and liked perfume. He never refused it if given to him. His favourite scent was musk.

He (peace be upun him) liked the siwaak (toothstick), and used it whether fasting or not. He also used it upon waking up, before wudhu', at the time of praying and upon entering his home.

He (peace be upun him) used kohl and said, “Your best kohl is antimony; it clears the eye and helps hair grow.”

It was from his guidance to greet people at his arrival and upon leaving. And he (peace be upun him) instructed spreading the greeting of "As-salaamu `alaykum" (Peace be upon you).

He (peace be upun him) said “The young should greet the elderly, the one passing should greet the one sitting, the one riding should greet the one walking and the smaller number should greet the larger number.”

The Prophet (peace be upun him) was the most eloquent among people and his words were the most pleasant, most fluent and most logical.

He (peace be upun him) was silent for long periods, not speaking without necessity. He did not speak about what did not concern him and only spoke when Allah's reward was expected thereby.

He (peace be upun him) spoke with concise, meaningful words. His words were descriptive yet few, neither too rapid not to be remembered nor too slow and interrupted by pauses.

He (peace be upun him) used to walk leaning forward as if descending from a slope. His walk was distinguished by speed, good form and calmness.

He (peace be upun him) used to walk barefoot or wearing shoes.

He (peace be upun him) would ride camels, horses, mules and donkeys. He rode horses sometimes saddled and sometimes unsaddled, and he would mount someone either behind him or in front of him.

He (peace be upun him) would sit either on the ground, on a straw mat or on a small rug.

of Blessing and Misfortune

The guidance of the Prophet (peace be upun him) and his companions was to perform sajdat ash-shukr (prostration of gratitude) whenever a blessing was renewed or an adversity averted. When something happened which pleased him or he received glad tidings of it, he would prostrate in gratitude to Allah.

******

He (peace be upun him) used to say at times of calamity: "There is no god but Allah, the Great, the Forbearing. There is no god but Allah, Lord of the great Throne. There is no god but Allah, Lord of the seven heavens, Lord of the earth and Lord of the noble Throne.”

When something distressed him, he (peace be upun him) would say: "O Ever-Living, O Self-Sustaining, by Your mercy I call for help."

 The Prophet (peace be upun him) preferred to travel early in the morning, and on a Thursday.

He (peace be upun him) disliked for someone alone to travel at night, and disliked that a person travel alone.

He (peace be upun him) instructed that when travellers are three in number they should appoint one of them as their leader.

It was from the Prophet's (peace be upun him) guidance to treat himself and he ordered those of his family and companions afflicted with illness to seek treatment.

He (peace be upun him) said: “Allah has not sent down any malady but that He sent down its cure.” And he (peace be upun him) said, “O servants of Allah, seek treatment.”

He (peace be upun him) had three types of treatment for an ailment: by natural medicines, by divine remedies and by a combination of both.

He (peace be upun him) prohibited treatment by intoxicants or anything impure.
