Interactions Of The Greatest Leader - The Prophet's Dealings With Different People
Allah granted his Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam qualities of perfection and noble characteristics which distinguished him from all other human beings. Consequently, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam combined all the possible virtuous human traits and was the best leading example in treating others with benevolence. The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam was a sublime example in his interactions with people, old and young, believers and disbelievers, the common people and close Companions.
The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam would support the oppressed, aid the needy, persevere patiently despite the harm he faced from foolish people, face evil with goodness, meet people with a smiling and cheerful face and was unfailingly generous and kind when dealing with people.
As soon as his enemies discovered his extraordinary personality and his exceptional manners, they immediately responded to his call and believed in the message he was preaching. One such person, who came to believe in him, informed him after accepting Islam: "I swear by Allah, O Muhammad! There was no one on the face of the earth who was more detested to me than you. However, now your religion (the religion you are conveying) is the dearest religion to me! There was no land more hated by me than your land but now it is the dearest part of earth to me!"
