The Prophet’s Manner of Walking
There are those who are of the opinion that he walked at a fast pace, whilst others say it means he leaned forward a little as he walked; and the third opinion is that he lifted his leg forcefully. We also learn that he walked briskly and took long strides rather than short ones. We do know that he never walked haughtily with his chest puffed out with pride, nor did he scuff his feet as he walked.
The Prophet’s Manner of Looking
There are two hadith one of which says it was his custom to always look down towards the ground, and the other says that he gazed up towards the sky. The Prophetic quotations do no contradict one another as the Prophet in day-to-day affairs, modestly looked towards the ground whereas when he awaited a Revelation he would look towards to sky. He never stared at anything.
The Prophet’s Height
It has been reported that he was a little taller than the average man, however, when he was amongst tall people his height was miraculous altered so that he became taller than those in his company.
The Prophet’s Age
Concerning his age scholars of Islam are of the opinion that there is a difference of opinion because some companions did not count the year he was born and the year he died. The consensus is that he was sixty-three years old when he was laid to rest.
The Prophet’s Bathing
None of the wives of the Prophet and his family, saw his private parts, neither did he see theirs.
The Prophet’s Communication
When the Prophet spoke to anyone, he would not just turn his face in order to converse, rather, he would either turn his whole body towards that person, or turn his face and torso in order to speak to the person directly; he was not proud man. It was not his practice to glance to the side when he spoke with anyone. His speech was deliberate and clear so that those sitting in his blessed company would remember what he said. When he wished to stress a point, he would repeat it three times.
It was not his custom to indulge in frivolous talk.
