He himself used to dust his house, tieing his camel and taking care of it personally. He did not consider any work as low for him. It is well known fact that he worked like a labourer in the construction of the mosque, and also while digging a ditch surrounding Madina.
As good family man and neighgour he used to buy household things for his own house and asked neightbours as he is going for shopping any neighbor need any thing to be bought for them.
Being best in humbleness never detested any work. Never exhibitied his dignity as a Prophet of misused his power. By practicing good moral and character in his own life and dealings he showed the world how to live with higher moral and ethical standards and simplicity.
With Children:
He felt very happy and comfortable with children. He used to mingle easily with children in their games. He played games and had fun with children who had returned from Abyssinia.
He tried to talk with them in their Abyssinian language. Whenever he returned from journey it was his usual practice to give lift to children on his camel. (Ref.: Bukhari, Sahih
Bukhari, Vol. 2 pg.886). He used to pick up children in his arms, play with them, and kissed them affectionately.
A companion, recalling his childhood, said,
"In my childhood I used to fell dates by throwing stones at palm trees.
Somebody took me to the Prophet (PBUH) who advised me to pick up the dates lying on the ground but not to fell them with stones. He then patted me and blessed me." (Abu Dawud)
His manners and disposition:
"By the grace of Allah, you are gentle towards the people; if you had been stern and ill-tempered, they would have dispersed from round about you" (translation of Qur'an 3:159) Equality:
Muhammad (pbuh) asked people to quit notions of racial, family or any other form of superiority based on mundane things. He also said that righteousness alone was the criterion of one's superiority over another.
He mixed with everyone equally without discriminating. He used to eat with slaves, servants and the poorest on the same sheet. This is still followed in Arabia and most of the Muslim cultures. He refused all privileges and worked like any ordinary laborer during the digginging of trenches at the time of the battle of trench and during the construction of the Prophet Mosque at Medina.
