You will be able to win the people’s love when you treat everyone in such a way that he thinks of
himself as the most beloved of all people to yourself. For instance, you should treat your mother so
grandly that she begins to think you have never treated anyone in such a fine manner.
You can say the same about the way you should deal with your father, your spouse, your children,
and your relatives.
The Prophet sallallahu alaihe wassalm was an expert in this.
Whoever reads about the life of the Prophet sallallahu alaihe wassalm will find that he would deal
with everyone in an excellent manner. Whoever he met, he would be very welcoming and cheerful,
such that the person would think that he was the most beloved of all to him, and therefore, the
Prophet sallallahu alaihe wassalm would also become the most beloved of all to that person.
