Assalaamualikum Friend,
Habit #3: Giving Attention to Everyone
Once a companion asked the Prophet(saw) who was most beloved to him, and the Prophet mentioned his wife, Aisha. The companion asked again and again, and each time the Prophet mentioned a different person. According some tafsirs of this narration, the companion asked this question because he thought that he was the most beloved to the Prophet.
Why did he think that he was the most beloved to the Prophet? Because whenever the Prophet met anyone, he treated them like they were the most important person to him.

Regardless of the age, tribe, or color, the Prophet(saw) greeted everyone and made them feel as if they mattered. When explaining the character of the Prophet, scholars would say that whenever the Prophet was talking to someone, he would turn the whole of his body towards that person to show that they had his full attention.
This is a habit that the Prophet practiced during his lifetime, and which we can emulate as followers of his Sunnah. He was polite, and everyone was equal in his eyes. He gave attention and made people feel loved.
