A Lost Sunnah

 

How the Prophet Behaved in his Home.

Since childhood when men see their mothers and sisters working in the kitchen , doing the daily routine household chores of our home.

After they grow up , they behave in the same way and like the "King who enters in his house" (and does nothing) , they start commanding thing and start getting it done by the wife or the servant.

they only remember the ayat from the Quraan "wherin men are allowed to have 4 wives..." but easily forget how the Prophet behaved when he was in his home.

So what did Prophet do when he would spend time in his home. ?

Order everyone to clean the house ?? NO

Lie down on the bed and leave as it is ?? NO

Order nicest dishes to be prepared ?? NO

Eat and Sleep ?? NO

So what did Prophet do when he would spend time in his home. ?

The Apostle of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) occupied himself at his home like a common man.

As Aishah relates, he used to clean his clothes, milk the sheep and himself do his odd jobs. She also says that he would mend his clothes, repair his shoes and do similar other works.

When asked how the Prophet occupied himself at home, she replied, "He used to keep himself busy in household chores and went out when the time for prayer came."

In another report related on her authority, she is reported to have said,

"The Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to repair his shoes, mend his clothes and occupied himself at home even as any of you occupy yourself."

Aishah relates, "Allahs Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was very softhearted, the kindliest of all. He laughed often and smiled much."

Anas says that "he had not seen a man who was more clement and nice to his household members than the Apostle of Allah."

It is related on the authority of Aishah that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "The best of you is one who is most nice to his wife and children and I am the nicest among you."

Abu Huraira said that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) never expressed disapproval of any food, if he desired he ate it, and if he disliked he left it alone."
