When someone joined him for any reason he would remain seated until that person left.
His endearing disposition was not just for a few, but for everyone, he was like a father to
them.

He neither thought it to be beneath him to mend his clothes nor help with the daily
chores. He was always kind to children and would ask Allah to bless them. It was not his
custom to concern himself with idle conversation nor yet to interrupt when someone was
speaking. His gatherings imparted knowledge, modesty, patience and honesty. He
neither degraded nor disgraced anyone. If someone had sinned and he knew, it would
not be made public. Little ones were loved, the needy given preference whilst strangers
and travelers were cared for.

Those in his household loved him dearly, not once did he rebuke them for not having
done a certain thing, nor did he ever ask why someone had done such a thing.

He never used obscene language, nor did he shout and talk in the bazaars. It was not
his way to avenge a bad deed with a similar deed, rather, he would forgive it and it would
not be mentioned thereafter. He never sought the faults in anyone.
