What You Will Learn

A kind and merciful Messenger — At-Tawbah 9:128: grieved by our suffering, kind and merciful to the believers.
The Duha prayer and prayer at home — four rak‘ahs of Duha (ash-Shama’il 287), eight rak‘ahs in the house of Umm Hani’ and “praying in my house is dearer to me” (ash-Shama’il 296).
His fasting — Sha‘ban, Monday and Thursday (ash-Shama’il 306), ‘Ashura’ and “deeds done continually, even if little” (ash-Shama’il 311).
Recitation and weeping — drawn-out recitation (ash-Shama’il 314), Surah al-Fath at the conquest of Makkah, and tears as Ibn Mas‘ud recited Surah an-Nisa’ (ash-Shama’il 322).
His bed and humility — a leather mattress stuffed with fibre (ash-Shama’il 327), “say: the servant of Allah and His Messenger” (ash-Shama’il 329) and helping with housework.
Character and modesty — Anas never told “uff” (ash-Shama’il 344), never saying “no” (ash-Shama’il 351) and shyer than a maiden behind her curtain.

لَقَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ رَسُولࣱ مِّنۡ أَنفُسِكُمۡ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيۡهِ مَا عَنِتُّمۡ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيۡكُم بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ رَءُوفࣱ رَّحِيمࣱ‏

“There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you and to the believers is kind and merciful.”
