Because of his simple life style, people used to say about him, "He lived amongst us like one of us".

He used to be kind to his enemies in accordance to Allah's recommendation in the holy Qur'an: Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loves those who are just.3 Equally he used to be kind to Muslims in accordance to the statement of Allah in the Qur'an: It is part of the Mercy of Allah that you deal gently with them.
