Certainly, in the Messenger of Allah you have an exceptional example^[1]

We learn that the blessed life of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the best example for us. We must follow it. We must not look at how the times are, what the circumstances are. We must see what the teachings of our beloved Master, the Leader of the Prophets صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم are. If we are buying clothes, we should not look at what fashion is currently in vogue; we should see what the blessed attire of our Master صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  was like. If we are getting a haircut, we should not look at what the current trend is; we should see what the blessed hair of our Master صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  was like.

In short, in every matter, be it sitting, standing, walking, sleeping and waking, we must not look at fashion or the circumstances of the times, rather we must look at only one thing: what the blessed way of our beloved Master صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was. I wish that we too were blessed with such love for the Messenger as Sayyidunā ꜤUthmān رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ possesses, that we too could acquire such beautiful thinking, and that we too would become a living embodiment of the Prophetic Sunnah.

He رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ did not perform Ṭawāf before the Beloved صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

O devotees of the Prophet! On this occasion, another great faith-inspiring event took place. When Sayyidunā ꜤUthmān رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ  was in Makkah Mukarramah, his cousin Abān b. SaꜤīd said to him: “O cousin, perform ṭawāf!" Sayyidunā ꜤUthmān رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ  replied: "O Abān b. SaꜤīd! We have one Messenger, one Beloved. We do not do anything of our own accord. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم takes the lead. Whatever we do, we do it only in his obedience".^[2]

It is forbidden to precede the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
