Setting
1- There was no person more beloved to them (the Companions) than the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). Nevertheless, they would not stand up when they saw him, knowing his dislike for that
2- A slave girl of Madīnah would take hold of the hand of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and would take him wherever she wished
3- If I am invited to a meal of a sheep's trotter or arm, I would accept the invitation
4- The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj on an old saddle, covered by a sheet worth four dirhams or less. Then he said: O Allah, grant me a Hajj in which no showing off is intended nor reputation sought
5- Verily, Allah has made me a noble slave, not an obstinate tyrant
6- The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) visited me during my illness, riding neither a mule nor a horse
7- Yūsuf ibn ‘Abdullāh ibn Salām (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) named me Yūsuf and seated me on his lap
