When the Prophet was happy, it was as if he almost closed his eyes, as for his laugh, it was for the most part a smile in which his blessed front teeth glittered like shining white hailstones.
When the Prophet gestured towards something he would do so with his hand rather than by just pointing with one finger. The scholars say that this was yet another act of his humility as he would raise one finger as reference to Allah.
When the Prophet was surprised by something he would turn his hand. He often spoke and used his hands. Sometimes he would hit the palm of his right hand with the underside of his left thumb.
There was a time when the Companions went to the Messenger of Allah complaining of their severe pangs of hunger and showed him the stones they had strapped against their stomach to stop it from swelling whereupon the Prophet showed them the two stones strapped to his.
The Prophet’s gentleness overcame his anger and the more foolish a person acted towards him, the more patient he became.
The Prophet’s Bed
Our beloved Prophet slept upon a hard leather mattress stuffed with the fiber of palm trees. The mattress was so hard that the palm fiber marks left welt marks upon his blessed body when he arose.
The Prophet’s Toothbrush
The Prophet would clean his teeth with the splayed end of a miswaak twig.
The Prophet’s Natural Fragrance and Use of Perfume
The Messenger of Allah was blessed with a natural fragrance quite unlike any other in the world. It has been described as being more fragrant than either amber or musk. Such was its sweetness that when he perspired, his wives collected his perspiration and used it to perfume themselves.
