When he gestured toward 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 he 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.
As for his modesty, he was more bashful than a virgin behind her veil. Lady Ayesha,
may Allah be pleased with her, said that neither did she see his private parts nor he
hers.
There was a time when the Companions went to the Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu
alihi wa sallam) complaining of severe pangs of hunger. They showed him the stones
they had strapped against their stomach to prevent it from swelling whereupon the
Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) showed them the two stones strapped to his.
He even visited the hypocrite Abdullah, the son of Ubayy, who had for a long time gone
out of his way to try to ridicule the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam).
