Was the Quran the Character of the Prophet?

Aslamoalaikum sisters brothers friends and elders, we are describing remaing part of answer of that was the quran the character of the prophet?

He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would respond to the invitations of a slave and a free person alike, and accept a gift even if it was a cup of milk, and he would reward a person for it. He did not eat food that had been given in charity, and he would respond to slave women and the poor when they asked him for something. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would get angry for the sake of his Lord (a violation being committed) but not for his own sake (his personal matters).

He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would adhere to the truth even if that resulted in harm for himself or his companions. He found one of the best of his companions slain in an area where Jews lived, but he did not treat them harshly or do more than what is prescribed by Shari`ah. Rather he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) paid a Diyah for him, of one hundred camels, even though some of his companions were in desperate need of just one camel.

He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would tie a rock to his stomach to ward off hunger pangs, and would not refuse lawful food and he would not eat reclining or at a table. He never ate his fill of bread for three days in a row until he met Allah, may He be Exalted, as he would prefer to give away what he had rather than eat his fill, not because of poverty or miserliness. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would accept invitations to meals, visit the sick, and attend funerals.

He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) walked alone among his enemies without a guard. He was the most humble and quiet of people without being arrogant, the most eloquent without being long-winded, the most cheerful of countenance. He never worried about worldly matters. He wore whatever he found, and let his slave or others ride behind him on his mount. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) rode whatever was available, sometimes a horse, sometimes a camel, sometimes a mule and sometimes a donkey. Sometimes he walked barefoot, with no cloak, turban or cap, visiting the sick in the furthest parts of Madinah.

He loved perfume and hated foul smells . He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would sit with the poor and offer food to and eat with the needy, honouring the virtuous and softening the hearts of people of high status by treating them kindly. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) upheld ties of kinship without favouring his relatives over those who were better than them, and he did not treat anyone harshly.

He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) accepted the excuses of those who apologised to him; he would joke but he only spoke the truth, and he would smile without laughing out loud. If he saw permissible play he did not denounce it, and he raced with his wife . When voices were raised against him, he bore that with patience. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had slaves, male and female, but he did not eat or dress any better than they did. He did not waste time without striving for the sake of Allah or doing that which was essential to better himself. He did not look down on any poor person because of his poverty or chronic sickness, and he did not fear any king because of his power. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called both of them to Allah on equal terms.

Abu Al-Bakhtari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not revile any of the believers but he prayed that it might become an expiation and a mercy for them. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “I have been sent as a mercy, not a curse.”

If he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was asked to pray against anyone, whether Muslim or disbeliever, he would refrain from praying against him and pray for him instead. His hand never struck anyone.

If he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was given the choice between two things he would choose the easier option, unless it involved sin or the severing of family ties. Allah described him in the Torah before He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent him, and said: Muhammad the Messenger of Allah , My chosen slave; he is not harsh or rough, and does not make noise in the marketplace. He did not repay evil in kind; rather he would pardon and forgive.

Part of his attitude was that he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would be the first to greet whomever he met, and if someone came to him with a need, he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would be patient until the person was the first one to leave. If someone took him by the hand, he would not let go until the other person let go first. In a gathering he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) could not be distinguished from his companions. Allah, may He be |Exalted, said (interpretation of the meaning): “And by the Mercy of Allah, you dealt with them gently. And had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from around you.” [Al `Imran 3:159]

Allah bestowed upon him the best attitude and conduct, and the best way of dealing with people and situations, even though he was illiterate and could neither read nor write. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) grew up poor in an ignorant desert land, tending sheep, an orphan with neither father nor mother. But Allah taught him all good characteristics and good ways, and taught him the stories of earlier and later generations, and that which brings success and salvation in the Hereafter and happiness in this world, and showed him the way to focus on one’s duties and keep away from inessentials. May Allah help us to obey his commands and follow his example. Amen O Lord of the Worlds.”

No one should think that what we have quoted above is merely a nice story or an exaggeration that is not real, rather every single point mentioned is to be found in authentic Hadiths that are narrated in different Hadith sources. Whoever wants to know more may read Ash-Shama’il Al-Muhammadiyyah by Imam At-Tirmidhi (available in English translation under the title “Shama’il At-Tirmidhi.”)
How to look up a Hadith

Finally, I urge you to seek help in your research by using modern computer programs, of which there are many, praise be to Allah. They will save you time and effort, helping you to find the Hadith you want and learn its rulings. I also advise you to buy some comprehensive books which include the Hadiths of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and organise them by subject matter.

Among the most important and accessible of them is Riyadh Al-Salihin by Imam An-Nawawi and At-Targhib wal Tarhib by Imam Al-Mundhiri. The Hadiths are organised by subject, and compiled from all the books of Hadith, and the scholars have commented on them and pointed out which reports are authentic and which are inauthentic, such as Shaykh Al-Albani (may Allah have mercy on him).

I ask Allah to reward you for your efforts and research, and I ask Him to help us and you to do that which is good.

And Allah knows best.
