When the Prophet (ﷺ) returned from the cave of Hira, where he had just received his first revelation during his first encounter with Jibril (Gabriel), his heart was trembling, and he went to Khadija and said: Wrap me up, wrap me up! So they wrapped him till the fear had left him. He then said to Khadija: O Khadija! what has happened to me? and he informed her of the happening, saying: I fear for myself. She replied: It can't be. Be happy. I swear by Allah that He shall never humiliate you. By Allah, you join ties of relationship, you speak the truth, you bear people's burden, you help the destitute, you entertain guests, and you help against the vicissitudes which affect people

Allah has summarized the prophet’s character and good manners by declaring to him: “and indeed, you are of great moral character” (68:4). Then the prophet (PPBUH) made it no secret to link his mission with perfection of moral character when he declared: “I have been sent to perfect the righteous of character”
Thus, the prophet (PPBUH) is considered a role model for good manners, just like he is a role model for all other aspects of human life. He exhibited these qualities even prior to his mission. It is well known, for example, that the Meccans used to nick name him "the honest, and "the trustworthy". There are numerous accounts testifying to his good character. To mention a couple:
1. Aisha (R) said that his character was that of the Quran
2. Anas Bin Malik, who served the prophet (PPBUH) 10 years said: he was the best mannered of all people.

No one has ever exhibited the crux of empathy more than the Messenger of God (pbuh).
God Himself says in Qur’an on how merciful His prophet is, and how the Prophet (pbuh) worries about his people, even the disbelievers.
For example, the Prophet (pbuh) would shorten his congregational prayer when he hears the wails of child, just because a lengthy one would distress the mother (Source: Sahih al Bukhari 678). There are also numerous authentic narrations in the Seerah (history) of the Messenger of God that chronicles his empathy (peace be upon him):

Ikrimah Ibn Abu Jahal meets Rasoolullah (pbuh): Abu Jahal, a notorious enemy of Islam, was killed at the Battle of Badr. His son Ikrimah ibn Abu Jahal on hearing this news that his father was killed in the battle by Muslims, becomes so heartbroken. He then wanted to meet the Prophet of Allah (pbuh) in Makkah. Upon hearing the news that Ikrimah has enterted Makkah, the Prophet of God (pbuh) advises Muslims not to call Ikrimah as the son of ‘Abu Jahal’ (meaning: father of ignorance) as it would hurt his feelings, even if he embraced Islam. He (pbuh) stopped people from calling Ikrimah’s father as ‘Abu Jahal’, as that would affect him. 

If the Prophet (pbuh) saw an act which opposed a tenet of the religion, he would reprimand it in a suitable manner. Abdullah b. Abbas said: The Messenger of God pbuh saw a man wearing a gold ring20, so he reached for it, [and] removed it…. He then said: "Would one of you seek a burning charcoal and place it on his hand?!" The man was later told, after the Prophet pbuh left: ‘Take your ring! Make good use of it [by selling it].’ The man said: ‘No, by God! I will never take it after the Messenger of God pbuh cast it away.’ (Muslim #2090) Abu Saeed al-Khudri said: I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "Whoever of you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart…" (Muslim)

The Prophet (ppbuh) always sought to make things easy for people. The Messenger of God (ppbuh) said: "I start the prayer with the intention of lengthening it, but when I hear a child crying, I shorten the prayer, as I know its mother would suffer from his screams!" (Bukhari #677)

A famous Hadith that had various narrations states: "For every ailment there is a remedy". It gives hope, encourages research, and promotes healthcare. The prophet (PPBUH) has encouraged wellness and health preservation, just as he did encourage medicine and seeking care. When he was asked about remedies they used in disease, rituals to treat the sick, and preventive measures, if it all changes what is predestined? he replied: it is all part of the predestined!

The Prophet's Appearance & Hygiene It is well known that the prophet (PPBUH) gave special attention to hygiene and appearance. Many traditions narrate how he encouraged cleanliness and liked to use Siwak (a toothbrush-like stick from the Arak tree – which is said to have many beneficial elements such as minerals, germicidals etc.). He also liked perfume and wearing beautiful garments. When Aisha was asked what did the prophet do when he first entered the house, she said: he used Siwak. He said in one narration: “Eat, drink, and give in charity. Wear (nice) clothing but without pride and extravagance. Verily, Allah loves for his blessings to be seen upon his servants.”

In an "agreed upon" Hadith, The prophet said: "avoid suspicion (or baseless allegation) for it is the most untruthful of speech". Allah also emphasized this notion in the Quran. "avoid much allegation / suspicion, for some of it is a sin" (49:12). It is a major attribute that the prophet (PPBUH) was characterized by even prior to his mission. That he was honest, of intellect and reason, objective, and did not believe in omen, sorcerous practices and alike. More importantly he always thought well of others and encouraged it.

Even though the prophet had no formal schooling, nor could he read or write, he was considered an example and paradigm in many aspects of knowledge, endeavors, life and culture. Then he was commissioned with the message of Islam which refined his wisdom even more. Allah has described this as a great bounty (in Surah Al-Qalam) adding a description of the prophet’s manners as also great (in the same surah): “Nũn. By the pen and what everyone writes! By the grace of your Lord, you ˹O Prophet˺ are not insane. You will certainly have a never-ending reward. And you are truly ˹a man˺ of outstanding character".(68:1-4)
It is said that when the prophet (ppbuh) conquered Mecca, Abu Sufian looked at him deeply and said: How sound-minded, wise, merciful, and caring you are!

Abu Daoud and Tirmidhi narrated that the prophet (PPBUH) said "Should I tell you which deed is more rewarded than Salat, fasting and Sadaqa? (they said yes), he said: reconciliation amongst yourselves." Once he heard that some people are quarreling in Quba', so he right away told his companions: let's go and reconcile between them.

The prophet (PPBUH) was optimistic in all his affairs, and was dismissing of pessimism. As the Hadith goes: "No pessimism. I like a good optimism". He always looked at the positive aspect even in his enemies. When the angel asked him if he would like him to crush the disbelievers who gave him a very hard time with the two mountains, he replied: perhaps one day good people will come out of them who will worship only God and not associate with him anyone".

The prophet (PPBUH) was patient in all situations that required patience. From life's challenges to harm inflicted upon him by the disbelievers. However, his patience was combined with hope, reliance on Allah, positive action, strategy, wisdom, enjoining good and forbidding evil, among other qualities.

 Prophet Muhammad (PPBUH)always chose Allah over everything and anything. This was evident throughout his Sirah (bioghraphy). Whenever he had to choose between Allah and worldly desires, he would choose Allah. Meaning, he would pursue the path of righteousness and apply the commands prescribed by Allah no matter what the cost. Many challenges came his way, yet he never backed out, because he embodied the conviction that Allah has entrusted him with a mission far greater than his own comforts. The Quran confirms that in this verse: “Say, “Surely my prayer, my worship, my life, and my death are all for Allah—Lord of all worlds” (6:162).

Aisha reported the prophet (PPBUH) as saying: "(the best of you is the one who is good to his wife / his family (Ahl)(Tirmidhi). It is well known that the prophet was the best to his family, meaning he treated them with the best treatment. he was very kind, compassionate, loving, respectful and much more. He often helped his wife or family with domestic chores, enjoyed a playful moment with them, or just let them have their space to do so. Thus, he was truly the best for his Ahl (family).

Perhaps one peculiar way to get a sense of the Prophet’s mercy to the world is to consider his favorite food and drink, for a shift of gears. For the varied, yet simple and balanced array of foods he liked to consume or advised of consuming, all represent beneficial and healthy sources of sustenance. In the famous encyclopedic books called “the Prophetic Medicine” by different authors, one notices this common feature about the types of food he (PPBUH) recommended; and from that early inspiration, the Islamic medical civilization has later emerged to leave a far-reaching positive impact on humanity. To get a glimpse of a few example of such foods, check out this link.

The prophet (PPBUH) said in one doctrine: "Do not put the one who is sick with the one who is healthy". The subject of the prophet'd guidance when it comes to health and medicine in general has been taken up before, and it's a vast subject. However, most of his guidance emphasized more of prevention.

The prophet (PPBUH) is the greatest teacher. Besides being considered the best role model in almost every aspect of life, which is enough quality for a teacher, He literally left us a legacy of many actual "teaching" encounters. Instances in which he directed someone to do something in a certain manner. One such notable encounter is when he taught his cousin, the young boy Abdullah Ibn Abbas, about "a few things". He actually used the phrase: "Should I teach you a few things?" (the famous Hadith). Another great quality that he (PPBUH) is famous for is that he often started his speech with a question, which many educators nowadays give much value to.

One would conclude that he had a solid body build that was obviously well maintained and perhaps more fir than the fittest of the people at the time.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was able to establish a model society based in Madinah, on the firm foundation of universally-recognized moral principles. Among these principles, equality and justice were given supreme importance; and this is evident in the life and practice of the Prophet. This agreement between the first Muslim community and the Jewish community in Medina shows the sense of justice portrayed in the Prophet’s character in dealing with minorities. It also clearly shows that the Prophet did not spread Islam, even in the city of Medina, by force; on the contrary, he promoted peaceful co-existence with followers of other faiths, especially Jews and Christians
