Anas tells us, "The Messenger of Allah went out accompanied by the Emigrants and Helpers, together with Abu Bakr and Omar. None of them except Abu Bakr and Omar, raised their eyes to look at him. They would look at the Prophet and he would look at them, they would smile at him and he would smile at them."
Osama, Sharik's son described a gathering in which the Prophet and some of his Companions were present. He said, "I came to the Prophet and noticed that his Companions sat around him as still as if there were birds perched upon their heads." Hind, Abi Hala's daughter said something similar, "When he spoke those sitting around him would bow their heads as if there were birds perched on top of them."
When Urwa, Masood's son, who was yet to embrace Islam, was sent by the Koraysh as an envoy to the Prophet prior to the signing of the treaty of Hudaybiyah. He was astounded by the overwhelming, unparalleled amount of respect the Companions had for the Prophet .
Urwa commented that never before had he seen such tremendous respect paid to anyone.

It is also reported that Urwa said, "I have never seen a king held in such high esteem as Muhammad is held by his Companions, and I have seen a people who will never abandon him."
Anas tells of the time when he saw the Messenger of Allah being shaved. His Companions stood around him and whenever a lock of hair fell one of them picked it up.
Talha spoke of the time, when the Companions of the Messenger of Allah requested an ignorant Bedouin, to ask the Prophet about what a person was like who had fulfilled his vow. The Companions were shy to ask themselves, on account of the reverence they had for him. The Bedouin asked but the Prophet did not answer him immediately. When Talha arrived he looked at him and recited the verse "Among the believers there are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Some have fulfilled their vow dying, and others await,
