to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him for help, so the Prophet granted him a flock of sheep that filled the space between two mountains. The man returned to his people and said, “Embrace Islam, for Muhammad gives with the generosity of one who never fears poverty.” Reported by Muslim.

Maʿmar narrated—from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUrwah, from ʿĀʾishah—that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was at home he would mend his sandals, sew his clothes, and work around the house just as any one of you does in his own home.

Abū Ṣāliḥ related: Muʿāwiyah ibn Ṣāliḥ told me, from Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd, from ʿAmrah, that ʿĀʾishah was asked, “What would the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do in his house?” She replied, “He was a human being like other human beings: he would delouse his garment, milk his goats, and serve himself.”

Shuʿbah said: Muslim al-Aʿwar Abū ʿAbdullāh told me—he heard Anas say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to ride a donkey, wear wool, and accept the invitation of a slave. Indeed, on the day of Khaybar I saw him riding a donkey whose bridle was made of date-palm fiber.

Marwān ibn Muḥammad al-Tāṭarī reported: Ibn Luhayʿah narrated to us; he said: ʿAmmār ibn Ghaziyyah told me, from Isḥāq ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn Abī Ṭalḥah, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the most light-hearted of people when he was with a child.

It is recorded in the Ṣaḥīḥ that the Prophet ﷺ said, “Abū ʿUmayr, what has the little sparrow done?”

Ḥammād ibn Salamah said: Thābit narrated to us, from Anas, that a woman whose mind was impaired came and said, “O Messenger of Allah, I have a need I wish to discuss with you.” He replied, “Mother of so-and-so, choose any path you like and I will walk with you.” He then withdrew with her and spoke with her privately until her need was met. Reported by Muslim.
