Az Khudaa Khawaaheim Taufeeq-e-Adab

Bay Adab Mahroom Maand Az Lutf-e-Rabb

Ask Allaah to give you the ability to respect

The disrespectful is excluded from the Pleasure of Allaah

After the treaty of Hudaiebiyah when Urwah Bin Mas’ood Saqafi came back to his nation he said to them:

“O people, Promise by God, I got the chance of visiting the courts of the Kings and I have seen the courts of Qaiesar [Caesar], Kisraa [Chosroes] and Najjaashee [Negus]. Promise to God I have not seen the companions of any King regarding them so much like the Companions of Muhammad respect Muhammad (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam). I sure upon Allaah, honestly he does not spit, but it is on the hands of one of them and they rub it on their faces and body. And when he gives any order they try to take lead on the other in fulfilling it. And when he does ablution [Wuzu] they draw on to the water of ablution as if that it seems they will fight and kill one another. And when he talks all of them lower their voices. And due to his respect and honour no one could look at him with sharp eyes. He has presented the Course of Truth and Guidance to you, so you should accept it.”

(Zarqaani Alal Mawaahib, vol-2, pg.192, Bukhaari: 2731 , Subulal Hudaa, vol-5, pg. 45)

Only from this one narration it can be evaluated how much the sacred companions respected and honoured the beloved Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam).
