Looking in to some daily routines of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)

When the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) woke up, he would pray Fajr with his
Companions in the mosque. Then he would sit in
the place where he had prayed, remembering Allah
until the sun rose, and his Companions (may Allah
be pleased with them) would sit with him.
Sometimes they would talk and remember things
that happened before Islam; they would laugh and
he would smile.
The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) regularly offered Duha prayer
with four or more rak‘ahs. It was narrated that
‘Aa’ishah said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) used to pray
Duha with four rak‘ahs or more, as Allah willed.
Narrated by Muslim, 719
‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) was
asked: What did the Messenger of Allah (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) do in his house?
She said: He was a human being like any other; he
would clean his garment, milk his sheep and serve
himself.
Narrated by Ahmad, 26194; classed as saheeh by
al-Albaani in as-Saheehah, 671
According to another report also narrated by
Ahmad (24903): He used to stitch his garment,
mend his shoes and work as other men work in
their houses.
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-
Jaami‘, 4937.
Al-Bukhaari (676) narrated that al-Aswad said: I
asked ‘Aa’ishah what the Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him) used to do in his
house. She said: He would serve his family, then
when the time for prayer came, he would go out to
the prayer.
He (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
never criticised any food; if he liked it he would eat
it, otherwise he would leave it.
Sometimes month after month would go by, and he
would not find any food except dates and water.
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be
pleased with him) said: The Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him) never criticised any
food; if he liked it he would eat it, otherwise he
would leave it.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3563; Muslim, 2064
He (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
would take a nap at midday, so that this siesta
would give him strength to pray qiyaam al-layl
(voluntary prayers at night). He would say: “Take
a nap at midday, for the Shaytaan does not take a
nap at midday.” Narrated by at-Tabaraani in al-
Awsat, 28; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in as-
Saheehah, 1647.
Al-Bayhaqi (20851) narrated that Jaabir said: The
Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah
be upon him) said: “Let us go to al-Baseer who is
in Banu Waaqif and visit him (as he is sick).” He
was a blind man.
The life of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him) was not a strict
routine, as may be understood from these words.
Rather it was purposeful and blessed work, as his
Lord instructed him (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say (O Muhammad SAW): ‘Verily, my Salat
(prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are
for Allah, the Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinns
and all that exists)’” [al-An ‘aam 6:162].
His practice was to interpret in a realistic manner
the commands and laws of Allah, as the Mother of
the Believers ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with
her) said.
Muslim narrated in his Saheeh (746) that Sa‘d ibn
Hishaam ibn ‘Aamir said to the Mother of the
Believers ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her)
:
O Mother of the believers, tell me about the
character of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him). She said: Do you not
read the Qur’an?
I said: Of course.
She said: The character of the Prophet of Allah
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was
the Qur’an.

May Allah make our residence near to Prophet
after this life.
Ameen.
