And I have never seen any obedience amongst the followers of the kings like I have seen of the Sahabah with the Prophet Muhammad (saw)! Whenever he would give them a command they would rush to do it, and whenever he would speak they would be silent as if birds are on their heads, and whenever he would make Wudu they would rush to get the droplets of water falling off his body, whenever a hair would fall from him they would try to get it!
