Sunnah: When he had to look at anything on his side, he would turn<br />

proud <strong>of</strong>ten do.)<br />

stride as though descending from a high place to a low one. at-Tirmidh|<br />
Sunnah: He r never considered himself above associating with and<br />
attending to anyone, whatever <strong>the</strong>ir social standing. Even slave-girls<br />

problems.<br />

Sunnah: At home, <strong>the</strong> Messenger <strong>of</strong> All\h r would join his family in<br />

his own shoes, patch his own clo<strong>the</strong>s and sew his own garmants.<br />
al-Bukh\r| in al-Adab al-Mufrad<br />
