Sunan Ibn Majah 3716 (Book 33, Hadith 60) #33070
The Prophet's Kindness and Politeness

SUMMARY: The Prophet was known for his politeness and kindness, as he would always greet people warmly and never be the first to turn away or withdraw his hand when shaking hands.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "Whenever the Prophet met a man, he would speak to him, and would not run away until he (the other man) was the one who turned away. And if he shook hands with him, he would not withdraw his hand until he (the other man) withdrew his hand. And he was never seen sitting with his knees ahead of the knees of the one who was sitting next to him".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى الطَّوِيلِ، - رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ - عَنْ زَيْدٍ الْعَمِّيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ إِذَا لَقِيَ الرَّجُلَ فَكَلَّمَهُ لَمْ يَصْرِفْ وَجْهَهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَنْصَرِفُ وَإِذَا صَافَحَهُ لَمْ يَنْزِعْ يَدَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَنْزِعُهَا وَلَمْ يُرَ مُتَقَدِّمًا بِرُكْبَتَيْهِ جَلِيسًا لَهُ قَطُّ

He also showed respect by not sitting with his knees ahead of those who were sitting next to him. This hadith teaches us that we should always be polite, kind, respectful, and courteous in our interactions with others.
