(71) Chapter: Modesty and Courtesy towards the Believers

Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
A slave-girl of Al-Madinah would take hold of the hand of the Prophet (ﷺ) and take him wherever she desired.

[Al- Bukhari].

Commentary: This Hadith throws light on the sublime courtesy and unique humbleness of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) as well as his passion to meet the wants of the needy. It provides all the Muslims with a worth-emulating
example. The Hadith does not mean that the slave-girl would actually touch the Prophet's hands, but that he would show humbleness to all kinds of people, be they young or old, rich or poor, men or women.
