In the Streets of Madin ah to him privately as he stood with them. They continued for a long time, until I moved towards him. I thought: 'I am certain that you are no follower of my religion or the religion of al-Nu' man ibn al Mundhir.17 Had you been a king, no boy and woman could have stopped you as long as this. I felt my heart warming to him." The Prophet was very spontaneous in his walk, affecting no artificial seriousness. One day he passed by a young man who was skinning a slaughtered sheep. However, the young man did not do his job well. The Prophet went up to him and said: "Move aside so that I will teach you how to do it. I see you do not do it well." The Prophet then put his hand in between the skin and the flesh of the sheep, until it was covered by the shoulder. He then said to him: "This is how you should skin it, young man." He then left him. We see how the Prophet was keen to establish means of communication between different generations. He showed clear interest in their situations and took interest in the details of their lives. We wonder what this young man felt as he saw the Prophet himself taking such an interest in his own private business and helping him to fulfil his own private assignment. He was once with his companions in the home of one of them. Bilal came to him and told him that it was time for the congregational prayer. He left to go to the mosque. He passed by a man who had placed a large saucepan on a stove to cook something. The Prophet asked him: "Is your cooking done?" The man said: "It is ready, messenger of God." The Prophet took a bite of it and chewed it as he walked. He continued to chew it until he was ready to start the prayer." Here we see life at its most simple and spontaneous. This is how the Prophet lived with his companions. In this instance, he took a bite and continued to chew it as he walked. How far removed his behaviour is from that of arrogant and snobbish people! As for the man who was the Prophet's host in this instance, he was very happy. Perhaps he told everyone whom he met on that 17 Al-Nu' man ibn al-Mundhir was the King of al-Hirah, which was in Ira g. He was a Christian king, affiliated to the Persian Empire, but the Emperor later killed him. 'Adiy himself was a Christian before he accepted Islam after this meeting with the Prophet. 25
A Dtry in the uft of Prophet Muhammad day how the Prophet took a bite of his food and ate it in front of him, as though this action was a special medal for him. With such remarkable and spontaneous behaviour, the Prophet must have become very close to people in their lives. When he wanted to visit some people, he would not directly face the door. He would step aside to the right or left, because houses were small and had no screen behind the door. Therefore, when the Prophet stood at the door, he would say a greeting: salamu 'alt!Jkum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh, i.e. Peace be to you together with God's grace and blessings. If there was no answer, he would repeat it three times. If there was still no answer, he would leave. One day the Prophet visited Sa 'd ibn 'Ubadah and as he stood at the door he said salamu 'alt!Jkum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh, [i.e. peace be to you, together with God's grace and blessings]. Sa 'd heard the greeting and answered it quietly so that the Prophet would not hear his reply. The Prophet again said: salamu 'alt!Jkum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh. Again Sa 'd answered quietly. Once more, the Prophet repeated the greeting and Sa 'd did the same. The Prophet started to leave. Sa 'd quickly joined him and said: "By Him who sent you with the message of the truth, every time you said your greeting I answered it. I only wanted you to offer us more of peace and prayer for God's grace." 26
