Emulating Rasulullah ﷺ In His Social Interactions

Summary: 

1) Rasulullah (s.a.w) conveyed the laws of Islam in the best possible way - that is, by being a role model for all of us. This includes the various aspects of his life; from his noble character, to how he built a harmonious family, as well as the way he navigated and managed his social interactions 

2) Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said in a hadith, which means: "A believer who mixes with other people and is patient with their harm is better than a believer who does not mix with others and does not endure their harm." (Hadith narrated by At-Tirmizi). 

3) The Prophet said:

لاَ يُبَلِّغْنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي عَنْ أَحَدٍ شَيْئًا فَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَأَنَا سَلِيمُ الصَّدْرِ

Which means: "I don't want any one of my friends to tell me anything about other people; I really want to meet you with a pure heart." (Hadith narrated by Imam Ahmad). 

4) It is narrated in a hadith that the Prophet (s.a.w), upon witnessing some other Companions cursing the individual, he said:

لا تَلْعَنُوهُ، فَوَاللَّهِ ما عَلِمْتُ إنَّه يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ ورَسولَهُ

Which means: "Do not curse him. For indeed, I know that he loves Allah and His Messenger." [Hadith narrated by Imam Al-Bukhari] 

5) Allah (s.w.t) says in Surah Al-Furqan: 63:

وَعِبَادُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَمۡشُونَ عَلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ هَوۡنٗا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ ٱلۡجَٰهِلُونَ قَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗا

Which means: “The true servants of the Most Compassionate are those who walk on the earth humbly, and when the foolish address them improperly (with bad words), they only respond with peace.”
