Prophet . When he visited Amir, Abdullah's son whose grandfather was Az-Zubair, and the Prophet was mentioned in his presence he would weep until he had no more tears left to shed.

Az-Zuhri was one of the most easy-going and friendly people, and it was observed that whenever the Prophet was mentioned in his presence he became oblivious of all, it was as if he did not know you nor you knew him. I would visit Safwan, Sulayman's son who was among those most diligent in their worship and offered prayers throughout the night. Whenever the Prophet was mentioned he wept and continued to do so and those around him got up and left."

Whenever Katada heard a prophetic quotation he would break out in a sob and became very fearful.

There was a time when a lot of people gathered around Malik and someone said, "Would that you would appoint someone to whom you could dictate, then he could make the people hear." Malik replied, "Allah said, 'Believers, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet' (49:2). The respect due to him during his lifetime, is the same now that he is dead."

Sirin's son would laugh, but when a prophetic quotation was mentioned he became humble.
