اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، قِيلَ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: مَاذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْمَلُ فِي بَيْتِهِ؟ قَالَتْ: كَانَ بَشَرًا مِنَ الْبَشَرِ، يَفْلِي ثَوْبَهُ، وَيَحْلِبُ شَاتَهُ.
It is narrated from Umrah (may Allah have mercy on her) that Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was asked: What did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) do in his house? She replied: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was also a human being among humans. He would remove lice and the like from his clothes, and he would milk his own goat.

Benefits and Issues:
From all these ahadith, it is understood that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) possessed the highest character, and humility and modesty were his special qualities. The arrogance typical of worldly rulers never even came near him. He did not feel any shame in performing household tasks.
