## Hadith #4698

**Book:** Model Behavior of the Prophet (Kitab Al-Sunnah) | **Narrator(s):** Ibrahim bin Abi Ablh إبراهيم بن أبي عبلة, Ja'far bin Msafr bin Rashid جعفر بن مسافر بن راشد, Ubada bin As-Samit, Yahya bin Hsan يحيى بن حسان | **Grade:** Sahih

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to sit among his Companions. A stranger would come and not recognize him (the Prophet) until he asked (about him). So we asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to make a place where he might take his seat so that when a stranger came, he might recognise him. So we built a terrace of soil on which he would take his seat, and we would sit beside him. He then mentioned something similar to this Hadith saying: A man came, and he described his appearance. He saluted from the side of the assembly, saying: Peace be upon you, Muhammad. The Prophet (ﷺ) then responded to him.
