Matendo ya Mtume ﷺ yamegawanyika katika aina nne:

The Af’aal (actions) of the Messenger (saw) are of four types:

1 – Af'aal Al-Jibilliyah (vitendo vya tabia ya kiasili): Hivi ni vitendo vinavyotokana na tabia ya asili ya binadamu (yaani, namna anavyofanya mambo kwa kawaida) ambavyo hufanywa kama vile kusimama, kukaa, kula, kunywa, kutembea na vingine vinavyofanana na hivyo. Hakuna tofauti wala mgongano wowote kuhusu vitu hivi kuwa Mubaah kwake ﷺ na kwa Ummah wake, na kwa sababu hiyo havimo ndani ya wigo wa Takleef (wajibu wa kisheria na uwajibikaji). Kwa hiyo si wajibu kumfuata Mtume ﷺ katika namna alivyofanya vitendo hivi.

1 – Al-Af’aal Al-Jibilliyah (actions of natural disposition): These are the actions that are from the natural disposition of the human being (i.e. his Khalqah: how he naturally does things) which he undertakes like standing, sitting, eating, drinking, walking and what is similar. There is no difference or disagreement in respect to these being Mubaah for him (saw) and for his Ummah and as such they do not fall within the area of Takleef (legal responsibility and accountability). It is therefore not obligatory to follow the Messenger (saw) in his manner of how he undertook these actions.
