𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐭 ﷺ
By Shaykh Shabbir Ahmad

الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ، وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ.

How do we respond when someone insults us, misunderstands us, hurts us or treats us unfairly?

Anyone can remain calm when everything is going well. Anyone can be kind when others are kind to them. But when we are tested, our real character is revealed.

Our beliefs shape our mindset; our mindset shapes our attitude; our attitude influences our personality; our personality is reflected in our character; and our character becomes visible through our response.

Ideology → Mindset → Attitude → Personality → Character → Response → Reaction

There is no greater example of this than our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Allah سبحانه وتعالى says:
لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا

“Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example to follow, for whoever hopes in Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah abundantly.” (Surah al-Ahzab 33:21)

The Prophet ﷺ is not merely someone we admire; he is our أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ—our example to follow.

𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝?

𝟏. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐭 ﷺ 𝐖𝐚𝐬 “𝐌𝐚𝐝”

Ḍimād رضي الله عنه came to Makkah and he heard some foolish people from among the people of Makkah saying that Muhammad ﷺ was mad. Because he had experience in treating people through ruqyah, he thought he might be able to cure him.

He approached the Prophet ﷺ and offered to treat him. Instead of becoming angry, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ calmly praised Allah and testified to His oneness and his own Prophethood.

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ـ أَنَّ ضِمَادًا قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَزْدِ شَنُوءَةَ، وَكَانَ يَرْقِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ (الْجِنِّ)، فَسَمِعَ سُفَهَاءَ مِنَ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا مَجْنُونٌ، فَقَالَ: لَوْ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَشْفِيهِ عَلَى يَدَيَّ، قَالَ: فَلَقِيَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، إِنِّي أَرْقِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَشْفِي عَلَى يَدَيَّ مَنْ شَاءَ، فَهَلْ لَكَ أَرْقِيكَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ـ: إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ، نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ، مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، أَمَّا بَعْدُ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ: أَعِدْ عَلَيَّ كَلِمَاتِكَ هَؤُلَاءِ، فَأَعَادَهُنَّ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ـ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ قَوْلَ الْكَهَنَةِ، وَقَوْلَ السَّحَرَةِ، وَقَوْلَ الشُّعَرَاءِ، فَمَا سَمِعْتُ مِثْلَ كَلِمَاتِكَ هَؤُلَاءِ، وَلَقَدْ بَلَغْنَ نَاعُوسَ الْبَحْرِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: هَاتِ يَدَكَ أُبَايِعْكَ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، قَالَ: فَبَايَعَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ـ: وَعَلَى قَوْمِكَ؟ قَالَ: وَعَلَى قَوْمِي.

Ḍimād رضي الله عنه listened and said that he had heard the words of fortune-tellers, magicians and poets, but had never heard words like these. He then said, “Give me your hand. I pledge allegiance to you upon Islam.”

The Prophet ﷺ then asked, “And on behalf of your people?” He replied, “And on behalf of my people.”

What began with a misunderstanding ended with guidance.

Later, the Prophet ﷺ continued to honour the relationship:

قَالَ: فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ـ سَرِيَّةً، فَمَرُّوا بِقَوْمِهِ، فَقَالَ صَاحِبُ السَّرِيَّةِ لِلْجَيْشِ: هَلْ أَصَبْتُمْ مِنَ هَؤُلَاءِ شَيْئًا؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: أَصَبْتُ مِنْهُمْ مَطْهَرَةً، فَقَالَ: رُدُّوهَا، فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمُ ضِمَادٍ. رواه مسلم

When something belonging to his people had been taken, the Prophet ﷺ instructed that it be returned, saying, “These are the people of Ḍimād.”

The lesson: Do not allow another person’s ignorance to control your behaviour.

𝟐. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐚 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐞

A Bedouin once urinated in the mosque. The Companions wanted to stop him, but the Prophet ﷺ responded with remarkable wisdom:

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ـ أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا بَالَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «دَعُوهُ وَلَا تُزْرِمُوهُ» فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ دَعَا بِدَلْوٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَصَبَّهُ عَلَيْهِ.

And in another narration:

«إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْمَسَاجِدَ لَا تَصْلُحُ لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْبَوْلِ وَلَا الْقَذَرِ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَالصَّلَاةِ، وَقِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ». رواه البخاري ومسلم

The Prophet ﷺ said, “Leave him and do not interrupt him.” When the man finished, water was poured over the place. The Prophet ﷺ then explained that mosques are for the remembrance of Allah, prayer and Qur’an—not for such impurity.

He did not approve of the mistake, but neither did he humiliate the person.

The lesson: Correct the mistake, but do not destroy the person.

𝟑. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐭 ﷺ

A Bedouin once pulled the Prophet’s ﷺ cloak so forcefully that it left a mark on his shoulder. Then he demanded something from him.

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ـ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدٌ نَجْرَانِيٌّ غَلِيظُ الْحَاشِيَةِ، فَأَدْرَكَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَجَبَذَ بِرِدَائِهِ جَبْذَةً شَدِيدَةً، حَتَّى نَظَرْتُ إِلَى صَفْحَةِ عَاتِقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَثَّرَتْ بِهَا حَاشِيَةُ الْبُرْدِ مِنْ شِدَّةِ جَبْذَتِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، مُرْ لِي مِنْ مَالِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي عِنْدَكَ. فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ لَهُ بِعَطَاءٍ. رواه البخاري ومسلم

The man hurt the Prophet ﷺ, spoke rudely and demanded something from him. Yet the Prophet ﷺ simply turned towards him, smiled, and ordered that something be given to him.

This was not weakness. It was extraordinary self-control.

The lesson: Someone else’s behaviour does not have to determine your response.

𝟒. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐭 ﷺ

Some people deliberately used an insulting greeting towards the Prophet ﷺ. ʿĀ’ishah رضي الله عنها became angry, but the Prophet ﷺ taught her the importance of gentleness:

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ـ قَالَتْ: كَانَ الْيَهُودُ يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَيَقُولُونَ: السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ، فَفَطِنَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ فَقَالَتْ: عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «مَهْلًا يَا عَائِشَةُ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الْأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ». قَالَتْ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا يَقُولُونَ؟ قَالَ: «أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعِي أَنِّي أَرُدُّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَقُولُ: وَعَلَيْكُمْ»؟ رواه البخاري ومسلم

The Prophet ﷺ said, “Take it easy, O ʿĀ’ishah. Allah loves gentleness in every matter.”

He did not respond with weakness; he responded with dignity and restraint.

The lesson: You can be firm without being harsh, and you can defend yourself without losing your character.

𝟓. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐑𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ demanding his debt and spoke harshly. The Companions became angry, but the Prophet ﷺ remained fair:

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ـ قَالَ: كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَقٌّ فَأَغْلَظَ لَهُ، فَهَمَّ بِهِ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «إِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «اشْتَرُوا لَهُ سِنًّا فَأَعْطُوهُ إِيَّاهُ». فَقَالُوا: إِنَّا لَا نَجِدُ إِلَّا سِنًّا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ سِنِّهِ. قَالَ: «فَاشْتَرُوهُ فَأَعْطُوهُ إِيَّاهُ، فَإِنَّ مِنْ خَيْرِكُمْ ـ أَوْ خَيْرَكُمْ ـ أَحْسَنُكُمْ قَضَاءً». رواه البخاري ومسلم

The Prophet ﷺ said, “The person who has a right is entitled to speak.” He then instructed the Companions to fulfil the man’s right. When they found something better than what was originally owed, he told them to give him the better one, saying:

“The best among you are those who are best in fulfilling what they owe.”

The man’s behaviour was rude, but his right remained his right.

The lesson: Never allow someone else’s bad character to destroy your own character.

What Do These Responses Teach Us?

These five incidents reveal the Prophetic mindset.

When someone misunderstood him, he responded with wisdom.

When someone made a mistake, he corrected him without humiliation.

When someone physically hurt him, he controlled his anger.

When someone insulted him, he responded with dignity and gentleness.

When someone was rude while demanding his right, he remained completely just.

This is the character of Muhammad ﷺ.

The real test of character is not how we behave when everything is easy. It is how we behave when we are hurt, challenged, insulted or misunderstood.

When your child disobeys you what comes out?

When your spouse disagrees with you what comes out?

When someone criticises you what comes out?

When somebody treats you unfairly what comes out?

That is where the Sunnah becomes real.

We do not always have to react immediately.

Pause. Remember Allah. Choose your response.

Allah سبحانه وتعالى gave us the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as:
أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ

So the question is not simply, “Do I love Muhammad ﷺ?”

The deeper question is:
“Can people see something of the character of Muhammad ﷺ in the way I behave?”

Can they see his patience?
His mercy?
His fairness?
His wisdom?
His gentleness?
His self-control?

Loving the Prophet ﷺ should not remain only on our tongues. His Sunnah should be visible in our homes, our relationships, our speech and, above all, in the way we respond when we are tested.

May Allah سبحانه وتعالى make the Messenger of Allah ﷺ our true أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ, purify our character, control our anger, soften our hearts and enable us to respond in every situation in a way that pleases Him. Ameen.
