How did our Prophet (saas) joke with those around him?
What did the Companions say about our Prophet's (saas) sincerity and gentleness?
Our Prophet (saas) is a most worthy person of deep faith who burns
withlove and passion for Allah. The depth of our Prophet's(saas) faith
bestowed on him a great acuity, honesty and sincerity. The Prophet
Muhammad (saas)was influenced by none and feared Allah alone. He was
therefore punctilious over what is lawful and unlawful, and was well
acquainted with love, compassion and affection. Since the heart of our
Prophet (saas) rejoiced with love of Allah, this bestowed great joy
and fervor upon him.
Despite all our Prophet's (saas) responsibilities and all the
difficulties he faced,he was always lively and smiling because of the
joy of his faith and his moral values. This behavior of our Prophet
(saas), a role model for all Muslims, has come down to us through
accounts from our Prophet's (saas) Companions and wives.
Our Prophet (saas) Was Very Joyful and Smiling
Our Prophet (saas) alwaysspoke to the heart. With his joyful nature
and behavior, he told those around him of the love of Allah and the
joy of faith. Those who saw him were not only affected by his
knowledge; those who were present to hear him speak felt an easing and
relaxation in their hearts, and an ineffable joy. Our Prophet's (saas)
joyful and smiling nature produced a delight in and desire to worship
in all those who knew and saw him. Our Prophet's (saas) joyful,
smiling face and language and his spiritual depth are described as
follows by the Companions:
Hazrat Ali (r.a): "His smiling face and kind behavior to everyone made
him literally a father to the people. Everyone was equal in his sight
and presence." (Imam Muhammed Bin Muhammed bin Sulayman ar-Rudani, eat
Hadith Collection, Jam'ul-fawaid min Jami'il-usul wa Majma'ith-zawaid,
Vol. 5, İz Press, p. 33)
The Messenger of Allah was always smiling of face and pleasant
natured... (Imam Muhammed Bin Muhammed bin Sulayman ar-Rudani, Great

Our Prophet (saas) also advised his people to havesmiling faces, and said:
"You cannot make people happy with your possessions, but you canplease
them with a pleasant face and good nature." ( Bezzar, Ebu

Our Prophet ( saas ) Was Very Vivacious and Pleasant-Natured
Our Prophet (saas) had a very special and profound sincerity, honesty
and closeness to Allah in his heart. This honesty meant that he
treated everyone he met with warmth and sincerity, and that he
responded to people's questions seriously and with close interest.
Hazrat Ali (r.a), one of the people closest to him, described the
climate in our Prophet's (saas) conversations and his relations with
the Companions as follows:
i. Those who took part in his conversations were hugely affected by
his honesty and sincerity.
" Rasulullah ( saas ) was the most generous of men, and had the
widestheart and most regular accent, he best discharged any task he
undertook and had the gentlest nature and finest conversations. Those
who knew him and were present at his conversations approached him with
love. One who describedhim said, 'I have never seen anyone like him,
neither before nor since.'Whenever he was asked for something, he
wouldalways give it." (Tirmidhi; Huccetü'l Islam Imam Gazali, Ihya'u
Ulum'id-din, Vol. 2, Trans: Dr. Sıtkı Gülle,Huzur Press, Istanbul
1998, p. 814)
"... He would speak of things that made peoplelove one another and
brought them close together. He would not alarm or put them off.
Heattached importance to the leader of every tribe; he would offer
food and drink ..." ( Imam Muhammed Bin Muhammed bin Süleyman
er-Rudani, Great Hadith Collection, Jem'ul-favaid min Jami'il-usul ve
Majma'iz-zevaid, Vol. 5, İz Press, p. 33)
