Here is a SaHeeH (Authentic) hadeeth that shows the great mannerism of our Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). Inshaa’Allaah, we will be able to implement these things in our life.

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَقْسِمُ لَحَظَاتِهِ بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِهِ فَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى ذَا وَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى ذَا بِالسَّوِيَّةِ قَالَ وَ لَمْ يَبْسُطْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص رِجْلَيْهِ بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِهِ قَطُّ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَيُصَافِحُهُ الرَّجُلُ فَمَا يَتْرُكُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَدَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ هُوَ التَّارِكَ فَلَمَّا فَطَنُوا لِذَلِكَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا صَافَحَهُ قَالَ بِيَدِهِ فَنَزَعَهَا مِنْ يَدِهِ

From Jameel bin Darraaj from Abee `Abd Allaah (عليه السلام) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) would divide each moment between his companions, he would look to this (companion) and he would look to that (companion) equally. He (عليه السلام) said: “And the Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) would never stretch out his legs among his companions, and when he would shake a man’s hands, the Messnger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) would not pull back his hand (back) from his (the man’s) hand until he (the man) would (first). And when they noticed that, whenever a man would shake his hand, he would remove his hand (quickly) from his (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) hand”
