 the rude arabs with their bad manners and rough construction when they came to the prophet may god bless him and grant him peace would address him and call him by his name and nickname. as for his companions they would address him as o messenger of god! o prophet of god!
وكانت الجفاة من العرب بسوء أدبها وغلظ تركيبها، إذا أتوا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، خاطبوه ودعوه باسمه وكنيته. فأما أصحابه، فكانت مخاطبتهم إياه يا رسول الله! ويا نبي الله!
