AlGhazalisIhya-Book_of_Virtues_of_the_Prophet, page : 46
The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was the most modest of men
regarding his noble origin. Ibn Amar said: “I saw him throw stones riding on a
grey camel; he did not strike, nor whip, nor did he say „move yourselves!‟
He rode on an ass on, which there was packed a hairy cloth; the Prophet, praise
and peace be upon him, notwithstanding that, asked one to ride behind him.
The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, used to visit the sick, follow the
funeral bier, answer the call of the slave, and mend his shoes and garments. In
his house he did the family duties together with the rest of the family. His
Companions did not rise for him because they knew he disliked that.
When he passed young boys, he greeted them. When a man frightened by his
reverential fear of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was brought to
him, the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said to him: “Be at rest, I am
not a king, I am the son of a woman of Koraysh, who eats dried meat.”
He sat among his Companions conversing with them, as if he were one of them.
