The Prophet of Allah (pbuh) was gentle and merciful with them in spite of their harshness

“I was walking with the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and he was wearing a garment that had a thick collar.A Bedouin man came up to him and pulled him very harshly by his shirt, until it ripped and the collar was still around his neck. I looked at the neck of the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and I could see marks in it from the severity of the way the man had pulled him. He said: ‘O Muhammad! Give me some of the wealth of Allah that you have!’ The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, simply turned to him, smiled and ordered for him to be given some wealth.”1
