The Hadith revolves around the personality of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), his sayings, his acts and the acts being performed in front of him and he remained silent and allowed to do such an act. Only the words, sentences, sayings and acts of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) are to be fully compliant in all respects.  Same is the case with the Holy Prophets (ﷺ) gestures, his movements, and postures as they are not even useless.
