The Prophet ﷺ used to ask Allāh for beautiful character and manners despite him being the best role model for mankind.

Muḥāḍir Abū al-Muwarriʿ narrated us: ʿĀṣim narrated to us: from ʿAwsajah b. al-Rammāḥ: from ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī al-Hudhayl:

On the authority of Ibn Masʿūd [who narrated] that the Messenger of Allāh, may the praise and protection of Allāh be upon him, used to say:

“O Allāh, You have beautified my body, and so beautify my character as well.”

Reported by Aḥmad.
