The Sealed Nectar

 The Sealed Nectar by Shaykh Safi ur-Rahman

Prophet Muhammad: The Ideal Husband – II

· The Prophet,  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ), would teach his wives to guard their tongues:Due to the numerous harms of the tongue, the Muslim husband should instruct his wife and teach her how to guard her tongue and use it appropriately. Two of the most destructive diseases of the tongue which a husband should be especially wary of are backbiting and tale-bearing. The Prophet,  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ), was very keen to protect his wives from any such diseases and would immediately correct them and instruct them in this regard.‘Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said, “I said to the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) ‘Such and such a matter of Safiyyah is sufficient for you (meaning that she was a woman of short stature).’ He  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) said: ‘You have uttered a statement that would pollute the (entire) sea if it were mixed in it.’”

She, may Allah be pleased with her, further stated, “I once imitated a person in his presence and he said:‘I would never like to imitate anyone, even (if I was paid) such and such an amount (for doing so).’”[Abu Daawood and At-Tirmithi]

Prophet Muhammad: The Ideal Husband - I

The family in general and the wife in particular is a precious trust and great responsibility that a Muslim must shoulder and never neglect. In this matter, just like in all others, the Prophet,  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ), is an example for all husbands in the way he treated and nurtured his wives.

The Prophet,  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ), encouraged people to nurture their families; he,  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ), said: “Allah will ask every person about those under his guardianship. (He will ask) whether he protected and preserved them, or squandered them; (this is) the extent to which He will ask man about his family members.”

What did the Prophet,  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ), do with regard to nurturing his wives? How did he,  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ),, educate them, enjoin them to do good and forbid them from doing evil? What was his manner and method in talking to them and being kind to them? These questions are answered below.

The Prophet’s Justice

Justice is a noble moral and a magnificent characteristic which is attractive to people, infuses hope in the hearts of the wronged, and for which the unjust pay utmost concern.

By virtue of justice, matters return to their normal and right path, rights are returned to their owners, people are happy and life is rectified. Welfare is present as long as there is justice, and as long as justice is absent people will be miserable.

Justice is a moral of those who are great, a feature of those who are pious, the want of the righteous and the way to success for believers in this worldly life and in the Hereafter. Justice was constituent in the character of the prophets, the righteous, leaders, mentors and above all the seal of the messengers, the master of humans, Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) enjoyed the greatest share of it. 

Prophet Muhammad's kindness

Towards Children

He  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) was especially fond of children and used to get into the spirit of childish games in their company. He  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) would have fun with the children who had come back from Abyssinia and tried to speak in Abyssinian with them. It was his practice to give lifts on his camel to children when he returned from journeys. [Al-Bukhari]

He  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) would pick up children in his arms, play with them, and kiss them. A companion, recalling his childhood, said: "In my childhood I used to fell dates by throwing stones at palm trees. Somebody took me to the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) who advised me to pick up the dates lying on the ground but not to fell them with stones. He  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) then patted me and blessed me." [Abu Daawood]

The Prophet’s humbleness

Prophet Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) was a perfect model of modesty and humbleness. He  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) 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  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) laughing so that she could see his molar teeth, for he only used to smile.

The truth about Prophet Muhammad

Loving him is following him

Muslims all over the world are deeply hurt by the recent caricatures of our beloved Prophet Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) in Danish and several other publications.

Every now and then, some Western media outlets provoke Muslims by insulting the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ). The baiting often succeeds in eliciting Muslims' outrage and sporadic violence.

The latest incident started with a Danish newspaper's caricature portraying the Prophet Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) as a terrorist. To add insult to injury, Norwegian, French, German, Dutch and a few other newspapers reprinted the defamatory cartoons to "defend"—they claimed—the freedom of expression.

Prophet Muhammad's manners and disposition

Allah Says (what means): "By the grace of Allah, you are gentle towards the people; if you had been stern and ill-tempered, they would have dispersed from round about you" [Quran, 3: 159]

About himself the prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) said: "Allah has sent me as an apostle so that I may demonstrate perfection of character, refinement of manners and loftiness of deportment." [Maalik and Ahmad]

The Prophet Muhammad: A Mercy for all Creation

Allah's Messenger  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) was the kindest of men in the same way as he excelled all others in courage and valour. Being extremely kind-hearted, his eyes brimmed with tears at the slightest sign of inhumanity. A Companion, Shaddaad bin 'Aws, may Allah be pleased with him, reported the Apostle as saying: “Allah has commanded you to show kindness to everyone, so if you have to kill, kill in a good manner, and if you slaughter an animal, slaughter it gently.
