Love for the holy Prophet should be more than one's love for himself, his children, family and worldly possessions. The holy Prophet said, what translated means: "None of you will reach belief till I become dearer to him than his children, parents and all humans" [Al Bukhari & Muslim]
When one reads how the companions used to love and respect the holy Prophet, one knows the importance of this matter. When Quraish (the holy Prophet's tribe) sent Orwa Ibn Masud to negotiate with the holy Prophet in the Hudaibia area, he was greatly impressed by how the companions treated the holy Prophet. He said, "I have visited the kings of Persia, Rome and Abyssinia, but I have not seen any leader more revered and respected by his people than Muhammad. If he ordered them to do anything, they do it without delay. If he performs Wudu (ablution for prayer) they all seek the remainder of the water he used. They never look at him in the eye, out of respect." This is how the holy Prophet was treated by his companions. He was Almighty Allah's Messenger who possessed great qualities and the best of conduct ever.
