Sunan Ibn Majah 4178 (Book 37, Hadith 79) #33534
The Prophet's Humility and Kindness

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was known for his humility and kindness, as he would visit the sick, attend funerals, accept invitations from slaves and ride donkeys.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "The Messenger of Allah used to visit the sick, attend funerals, accept the invitations of slaves and ride donkeys. On the day (of the battle) of Qurayza and Nadir, he was riding a donkey. On the day of Khaibar he was riding a donkey that was bridled with palm fibers and beneath him was a packsaddle made of palmfibers".
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ الأَعْوَرِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَعُودُ الْمَرِيضَ وَيُشَيِّعُ الْجِنَازَةَ وَيُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الْمَمْلُوكِ وَيَرْكَبُ الْحِمَارَ وَكَانَ يَوْمَ قُرَيْظَةَ وَالنَّضِيرِ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَيَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ مَخْطُومٍ بِرَسَنٍ مِنْ لِيفٍ وَتَحْتَهُ إِكَافٌ مِنْ لِيفٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith of Anas bin Malik speaks to the exemplary character of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He was known for his humility and kindness in all aspects of life. He would visit those who were sick to show them compassion and care. He also attended funerals to pay respect to those who had passed away. Furthermore, he accepted invitations from slaves which showed that he did not differentiate between people based on their social status or wealth. Lastly, he rode donkeys which demonstrated his modesty despite being a leader of a nation. This hadith serves as an example for us all to follow in our daily lives; showing kindness towards others regardless of their background or social standing is something we should strive for in our own lives if we wish to emulate the character of the beloved prophet ﷺ .
