Riyad as-Salihin 621 (Book) #39006
The Kindness and Gentleness of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)

SUMMARY: The hadith speaks of the Prophet Muhammad's (ﷺ) kindness and gentleness, as well as his patience and understanding.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I never felt any piece of velvet or silk softer than the palm of the Messenger of Allah , nor did I smell any fragrance more pleasant than the smell of Messenger of Allah . I served him for ten years, and he never said 'Uff' (an expression of disgust) to me. He never said 'why did you do that?' for something I had done, nor did he ever say 'why did you not do such and such' for something I had not done. Al- Bukhari and Muslim.
وعنه قال‏:‏ ما مسست ديباجاً ولاحريراً ألين من كف رسول الله ، ولا شممت رائحة قط أطيب من رائحة رسول الله ولقد خدمت رسول الله عشر سنين، فما قال لي قط ‏:‏أف، ولا قال لشئ فعلته‏:‏ لم فعلته‏؟‏ ولا لشئ لم أفعله‏:‏ ألا فعلت كذا‏؟‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

This hadith speaks of the exemplary character of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He was known for his kindness and gentleness towards others; he never expressed any anger or frustration towards those who served him. He also never asked why something was done or not done. His patience and understanding were unparalleled; even a piece of velvet or silk could not compare to the softness of his palm. Furthermore, no fragrance could match that which emanated from him. This hadith serves to remind us that we should strive to emulate this example in our own lives by being kind and gentle with others while also showing patience and understanding when needed.
