As for the Prophet ﷺ's manner
His manner was a miracle.
I have discussed about this in particular.
The title was The Miracle
of The Messenger of Allah ﷺ's manner.
Because the Prophet's manner
was really a miracle.
No one can immitate the Prophet's manner
as the Prophet ﷺ.
A simple example, about the food.
A companion said:
مَا عَابَ نبي ﷺ طَعَامًا قَطُّ
<i>The Prophet (ﷺ) never criticized any food</i>
إِذَا اشْتَهَى شَيْئًا أَكَلَهُ
<i>he would eat it if he liked it;</i>
وَإِنْ كَرِهَهُ تَرَكَهُ
<i>Otherwise, he would leave it
(without expressing his dislike).</i>
That was the Prophet's attitude.
He never criticized any food.
If he liked it, he'd eat it.
Otherwise, he remained silent
with no comments.
When commenting on this hadith.
Al Imam Nawawi rahimahullahu ta'ala...
مَا عَابَ نبي ﷺ طَعَامًا قَطُّ
<i>The Prophet (ﷺ) never criticized any food</i>
For example, one would say
<i>too salty.</i>
<i>Not sweet enough.</i>
<i>Not sour enough</i>
For example.
The Prophet never commented.
Subhanallah.
I am asking you, have you never
criticized on any food?
Is there a person who does not
comment on any food one single day?
Alright, a day is possible.
What about a month
without commenting any food.
It is difficult because this tongue
wants to say something.
A whole life not commenting any food?
Impossible.
It shows that the Prophet
was really a Messenger.
If he disliked it, he'd leave it
without any comment.
As for us, we'd comment
on any food.
Let alone food that we buy,
we comment even on free ones.
We get it for free and we comment
<i>Not that good</i>. But we finish it.
Thus...
I know this hadith.
I've often said it.
But I still comment.
<i>Not that good.</i>
<i>- Over there?
No, not that good.</i>
What can I do?
I am not the Prophet ﷺ.
Subhanallah, the Prophet never commented.
I contemplated on this hadith,
it is really a miracle.
He wa a miracle person; it is impossible
that a person doesn't comment.
We have difficulty not to comment
on any food.
Even more when we buy it and it's not good.
We'd comment even harshly.
And when the Prophet was asked
to comment...
One day, the Prophet ﷺ
was given "dhab" with Khalid ibn Walid.
"Dhab" is the Desert Lizard.
It is not wild and it eats grass.
It looks like iguana.
It is not like lizard in our villages.
Some wrongly translated
the book of <i>ullugul maraam.</i>
He translated <i>dhab</i> into lizard.
Khalid bin Walid ate lizard
in front of the Prophet.
People understood wrongly,
they catch and slaughter lizard and eat it.
<i>This is the Prophet's sunnah,
to eat a lizard.</i>
In our place, the lizards are carnivorous.
They eat chickens, rats, etc.
This is desert lizard
it is called <i>dhab</i>.
The Prophet ﷺ was served with <i>dhab</i>.
It was cut, cooked and served
to the Prophet.
The Prophet was with Khalid ibn Walid.
When the Prophet was going to eat it...
His wives told him
<i>"O Messenger of Allah, our husband."</i>
<i>That is dhab.</i>
The Prophet didn't know it
because it was cut.
Finally the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
did not eat.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ
remained silent.
Khald bin Walid started to eat dhab.
He enjoyed the food.
When he saw that the Propohet ﷺ
did not eat ...
Then Khalid bin Walid asked
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ:
اخرمه يا رسول الله؟
You are not eating <i>dhab</i>.
Is <i>dhab</i> unlawful
Listen, now the Prophet is being asked
to comment.
Usually, when he didn't like any food
he kept silent.
Now, he's not saying anything,
Khaled asked him.
<i>Why aren't you eating?</i>
It is difficult to answer it.
He's asked to comment.
We'd reply directly
<i>How come you serve ustaz a lizard?</i>
There are goats, chickens.
<i>You serve ustaz lizard.</i>
But when the Prophet ﷺ was asked
to comment, he replied nicely.
He didn't criticize the food at all,
he said...
لم يكن بأرض قومي، فأجدني أعافه
He said, <i>It is not found in the land
of my people.</i>
<i>So I find it distasteful.</i>
He said<i>It is not found in in the land
of my people</i>
When you're served with tempe and don't like it
"<i>It isn't found in my hometowen.</i>."
We find many tempe.
When asked to comment
The Prophet was able to chose
nice words that weren't insulting.
He said
لم يكن بأرض قومي
<i>It is not found in my hometown.</i>
Finish.
He didn't say, <i>This is lizard
it is terrifying.</i>
He only said
<i>it is not found in my hometown.</i>
It shows that he had
an extraordinary manner.
We see how the Prophet ﷺ was
to his assistant.
Annas bin Malik ra.
لَقَدْ خَدَمْتُهُ تِسْعَ سِنِينَ
او عشر سنين
I served him for nine or ten years.
<i>The Prophet ﷺ never said to me</i>
هل لا طرقت هل ما فعلته؟
<i>Why isn't it like this?
Why did you do this?</i>
The Prophet never protested
what Annas did.
If Annas did mistakes,
the Prophet said it in another way.
The Prophet never said
<i>Why is it like this? Why isn't it like that?</i>
Is there any boss who hasn't criticized
his assistant for ten years?
Impossible.
It shows that the Prophet ﷺ
was really a Messenger.
It shows that the Prophet ﷺ's manner
is a miracle itself.
For those who learn about it.
