Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was the best of people in character. I had a brother called Abu Umayr, who was newly weaned. Whenever he (peace and blessings be upon him) came, he would say: "O Abu Umayr, what did the little bird do?" He used to play with it. Sometimes the time of prayer would come while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in our house, and he would order the mat beneath him to be swept and sprinkled with water. Then he would stand, we would stand behind him, and he would lead us in prayer.
