The humility and fairness of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

It is narrated from Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: "If any man living in the upper outlying districts of Madinah (al-Awali) invited the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the middle of the night merely to eat barley bread, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would accept his invitation."
The chain of this hadith is jayyid (good), and it indicates the perfect character, asceticism and utmost humility of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in that he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not turn down even the modest invitation of an ordinary person, despite his living in a distant area.

It is narrated from Yahya bin Ja'dah (may Allah have mercy on him) that "the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) to do something concerning the cleaning of Sayyiduna Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him): either it was the mucus running from his nose or something else. It seemed that she disliked it (out of natural aversion), so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took it from her and did that task himself."
There is a supporting witness (shahid) for this narration from the hadith of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), which Imam Ibn Hibban narrated from her through the route of "al-Bahi" and declared sahih (authentic).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I was walking with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he (peace and blessings be upon him) found a stalk of a date cluster with some dates on it. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) took one date for himself and gave me one date."
Imam Abu Ya'la narrated this hadith in his Musnad.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never once stretched out his knees (casually or indifferently) in front of anyone sitting with him. Nor did it ever happen that he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave his blessed hand to someone to shake hands and then pulled his hand away himself, until the other person let go of it himself. And never did anyone come and sit with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and he (peace and blessings be upon him) (out of consideration for him) got up and left, until that person himself got up and left."
Imam Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah narrated this hadith in his al-Musannaf.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) surpassed all people in showing kindness and gentleness to people. By Allah! Even on a bitterly cold morning, if a slave, a slave-girl or a child brought him (peace and blessings be upon him) water so that he (peace and blessings be upon him) could wash his blessed face and forearms with it, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would never refuse. Whenever someone asking came close to his (peace and blessings be upon him) ear to say something, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would listen to him with full attention and would not turn his radiant face away from him until that person moved away himself. And whenever any person took hold of his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed hand (to shake hands), he (peace and blessings be upon him) would give his hand to him and would not withdraw it until that person himself let go of his (peace and blessings be upon him) hand."
Imam Abu Ya'la also narrated it, and Imam Ibn Hibban declared this hadith sahih (authentic).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man called out to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) three times, and each time he (peace and blessings be upon him) answered him, saying: 'Labbayk, labbayk' (Here I am, here I am).
Imam Abu Ya'la narrated this hadith.

It is narrated from a man of Banu Fahm that a gift was presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) looked here and there (for a place to put it) but did not find anything (a vessel, a raised seat or the like) in which it could be placed. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Just put it on the ground (the low place), for I am only a servant: I eat (humbly) as a servant eats, and I drink as a servant drinks."
Imam Ibn Abi Shaybah narrated this hadith. Although one narrator in its chain is unnamed (unknown), its meaning is established by other authentic narrations.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was extremely merciful and exceedingly kind towards his household and those in his care."
Imam Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it in his Musnad.
