allah (the almighty) had granted his messenger (pbuh) both the beauty of appearance and the beauty of the morals. whoever meets him can’t help but love him and whoever associates himself with him can’t help but feel intimate. he was honored by allah (the almighty) when he praised the beauty of his morals in the holy quran saying “and surely you are indeed of a magnificent character” (al-qalam: 4). his noble companions had discussed his benevolent character and his great traits, so let’s listen to what they said about him :

ﻟﻘﺪ ﺟﻤﻊ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻟﺮﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺍﻟﻜﺮﻳﻢ ﺑﻴﻦ ﺣﺴﻦ ﺍﻟﺨﻠﻖ ﻭﺣﺴﻦ ﺍﻟﺨﻠﻖ، ﺣﻴﺚ ﻳﺤﺒﻪ ﻛﻞ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺁﻩ، ﻭﻳﺄﻟﻔﻪ ﻛﻞ ﻣﻦ ﻋﺎﺷﺮﻩ، ﻭﻛﻔﺎﻩ ﺷﺮﻓﺎ ﺃﻥ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻣﺪﺣﻪ ﺑﺤﺴﻦ ﺧﻠﻘﻪ ﻓﻲ ﺍﻟﻘﺮﺁﻥ ﺍﻟﻜﺮﻳﻢ، ﻓﻘﺎﻝ ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﻪ: {ﻭَﺇِﻧَّﻚَ ﻟَﻌَﻠَﻰ ﺧُﻠُﻖٍ ﻋَﻈِﻴﻢٍ} (ﺍﻟﻘﻠﻢ:4)، ﻭﻗﺪ ﺗﺤﺪﺙ ﺻﺤﺎﺑﺘﻪ ﺍﻟﻜﺮﺍﻡ ﻋﻦ ﺃﺧﻼ‌ﻗﻪ ﺍﻟﻜﺮﻳﻤﺔ ﻭﺷﻤﺎﺋﻠﻪ ﺍﻟﺠﻠﻴﻠﺔ، ﻓﻠﻨﺼﻎ ﺇﻟﻰ ﺃﺣﺎﺩﻳﺜﻬﻢ ﻋﻦ:
 
1)     his generosity: he reached the ultimate in generosity which made the arabs forget hatem at-taei who was before the ideal model of generosity. jabir ibn abdullah narrated “no one had ever asked allah’s messenger (pbuh) anything unless he gave it to him. once a man came asking him for charity. allah’s messenger (pbuh) gave him a flock of sheep filling the area between two mountains. the man then returned to his folk saying: oh my people embrace islam for muhammad (pbuh) gives like someone who isn't afraid of poverty”.

1- ﻛﺮﻣﻪ: ﺣﻴﺚ ﺑﻠﻎ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺠﻮﺩ ﻭﺍﻟﻜﺮﻡ ﻣﺎ ﺃﻧﺴﻰ ﺍﻟﻌﺮﺏ ﺣﺎﺗﻢ ﺍﻟﻄﺎﺋﻲ ﺍﻟﺬﻱ ﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻳﻀﺮﺑﻮﻥ ﺑﻪ ﺍﻟﻤﺜﻞ ﻓﻲ ﺗﻠﻚ ﺍﻟﺨﺼﻠﺔ، ﻓﻌﻦ ﺟﺎﺑﺮ ﺑﻦ ﻋﺒﺪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺭﺿﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻬﻤﺎ ﻗﺎﻝ: ﻣﺎ ﺳﺌﻞ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ r ﺷﻴﺌﺎ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻹ‌ﺳﻼ‌ﻡ ﺇﻻ‌ ﺃﻋﻄﺎﻩ، ﺳﺄﻟﻪ ﺭﺟﻞ ﻓﺄﻋﻄﺎﻩ ﻏﻨﻤﺎ ﺑﻴﻦ ﺟﺒﻠﻴﻦ، ﻓﺄﺗﻰ ﺍﻟﺮﺟﻞ ﻗﻮﻣﻪ ﻓﻘﺎﻝ ﻟﻬﻢ ﻳﺎ ﻗﻮﻡ ﺍﺳﻠﻤﻮﺍ ﻓﺈﻥ ﻣﺤﻤﺪﺍ ﻳﻌﻄﻲ ﻋﻄﺎﺀ ﻣﻦ ﻻ‌ ﻳﺨﺎﻑ ﺍﻟﻔﺎﻗﺔ.



2)       his patience: he had unrivaled patience. once a bedouin caught hold of him and gave his cloak a violent tug leaving a mark on his neck. then, the bedouin said to him “load these two camels of mine, for you don’t give me anything from your property or from your father’s property. allah’s messenger (pbuh) was patient with him saying: the property is that of allah (the almighty) and i am his slave i will ask you to pay me back for what you did to me on judgment day. the bedouin said: no. allah’s messenger (pbuh) said: why?? the bedouin replied: because you don’t return the bad deed for a bad deed. allah’s messenger (pbuh) smiled and ordered to load the bedouin's two camels, one with barley and the other with dates”.

2- ﺣﻠﻤﻪ: ﺍﻟﻤﻨﻘﻄﻊ ﺍﻟﻨﻈﻴﺮ، ﻓﻘﺪ ﺟﺬﺑﻪ ﻳﻮﻣﺎ ﺃﻋﺮﺍﺑﻲ ﺟﺬﺑﺔ ﺷﺪﻳﺪﺓ ﺣﺘﻰ ﺃﺛﺮﺕ ﻓﻲ ﺻﻔﺤﺔ ﻋﻨﻘﻪ، ﻭﻗﺎﻝ: ﺍﺣﻤﻞ ﻟﻲ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺑﻌﻴﺮﻱ ﻫﺬﻳﻦ ﻣﻦ ﻣﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺍﻟﺬﻱ ﻋﻨﺪﻙ، ﻓﺈﻧﻚ ﻻ‌ ﺗﺤﻤﻞ ﻟﻲ ﻣﻦ ﻣﺎﻟﻚ ﻭﻣﺎﻝ ﺃﺑﻴﻚ، ﻓﺤﻠﻢ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ، ﻭﻟﻢ ﻳﺰﺩ ﺃﻥ ﻗﺎﻝ: ((ﺍﻟﻤﺎﻝ ﻣﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ، ﻭﺃﻧﺎ ﻋﺒﺪﻩ، ﻭﻳﻘﺎﺩ ﻣﻨﻚ ﻳﺎ ﺃﻋﺮﺍﺑﻲ ﻣﺎ ﻓﻌﻠﺖ ﺑﻲ)) ﻓﻘﺎﻝ ﺍﻷ‌ﻋﺮﺍﺑﻲ ﻻ‌، ﻓﻘﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﻨﺒﻲ  ((ﻟﻢ؟)) ﻗﺎﻝ: ﻷ‌ﻧﻚ ﻻ‌ ﺗﻜﺎﻓﺊ ﺍﻟﺴﻴﺌﺔ ﺑﺎﻟﺴﻴﺌﺔ، ﻓﻀﺤﻚ ،  ﺛﻢ ﺃﻣﺮ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺤﻤﻞ ﻟﻪ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺑﻌﻴﺮ ﺷﻌﻴﺮ ﻭﻋﻠﻰ ﺁﺧﺮ ﺗﻤﺮ.



3)     his shyness: which never stood between him and what’s right. abu saeid al-khudri narrated “the prophet (pbuh) was more shy than a virgin in her separate room. and if he saw a thing which he disliked, we would recognize that in his face.

3- ﺣﻴﺎﺋﻪ: ﺍﻟﻔﻄﺮﻱ ﺍﻟﺬﻱ ﻟﻢ ﻳﺤﻞ ﺑﻴﻨﻪ ﻭﺑﻴﻦ ﺍﻟﺤﻖ ﻗﻂ، ﺭﻭﻯ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﺨﺎﻥ ﻋﻦ ﺃﺑﻲ ﺳﻌﻴﺪ ﺍﻟﺨﺪﺭﻱ t ﻗﺎﻝ: ﻛﺎﻥ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ  ﺃﺷﺪ ﺣﻴﺎﺀ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺒﻜﺮ ﻓﻲ ﺧﺪﺭﻫﺎ، ﻭﻛﺎﻥ ﺇﺫﺍ ﻛﺮﻩ ﺷﻴﺌﺎ ﻋﺮﻓﻨﺎﻩ ﻓﻲ ﻭﺟﻬه




4)     his humor: which was so decent in a manner that doesn’t affect his solemnity. nu’man ibn bashir narrated “when abu bakr (aisha's father) asked the permission of allah’s messenger (pbuh) to come in, he heard aisha speaking in a loud voice. so when he entered, he caught hold of her in order to slap her, and said: do i see you raising your voice to the apostle of allah? allah’s messenger (pbuh)  prevented abu bakr and so he went out angry. allah’s messenger (pbuh) said when abu bakr went out: you see i rescued you from the man. abu bakr waited for some days, then asked permission of allah’s messenger (pbuh) to enter, and found that they had made peace with each other. he said to them: bring me into your peace as you brought me into your war. allah’s messenger (pbuh) said: we have done so: we have done so”.
 
4- ﻣﺰﺍﺣﻪ: ﺍﻟﺬﻱ ﻟﻢ ﻳﺨﺮﺟﻪ ﻋﻦ ﻃﻮﺭﻩ ﺃﻭ ﻳﺨﺪﺵ ﻓﻲ ﻓﻀﻠﻪ، ﻓﻌﻦ ﺍﻟﻨﻌﻤﺎﻥ ﺑﻦ ﺑﺸﻴﺮ ﺭﺿﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻬﻤﺎ ﻗﺎﻝ: ﺍﺳﺘﺄﺫﻥ ﺃﺑﻮ ﺑﻜﺮ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻨﺒﻲ  ﻓﺴﻤﻊ ﺻﻮﺕ ﻋﺎﺋﺸﺔ ﻋﺎﻟﻴﺎ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ  ، ﻓﻠﻤﺎ ﺩﺧﻞ ﺗﻨﺎﻭﻟﻬﺎ ﻟﻴﻠﻄﻤﻬﺎ ﻭﻗﺎﻝ: ﺃﻻ‌ ﺃﺭﺍﻙ ﺗﺮﻓﻌﻴﻦ ﺻﻮﺗﻚ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ، ﻓﺠﻌﻞ ﺍﻟﻨﺒﻲ ﻳﺤﺠﺰﻩ، ﻭﺧﺮﺝ ﺃﺑﻮ ﺑﻜﺮ ﻣﻐﻀﺒﺎ، ﻓﻘﺎﻝ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺣﻴﻦ ﺧﺮﺝ ﺃﺑﻮ ﺑﻜﺮ ((ﻛﻴﻒ ﺭﺃﻳﺘﻨﻲ ﺃﻧﻘﺬﺗﻚ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺮﺟﻞ؟)) ﻓﻤﻜﺚ ﺃﺑﻮ ﺑﻜﺮ ﺃﻳﺎﻣﺎ ﺛﻢ ﺍﺳﺘﺄﺫﻥ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻓﻮﺟﺪﻫﻤﺎ ﻗﺪ ﺍﺻﻄﻠﺤﺎ، ﻓﻘﺎﻝ ﻟﻬﻤﺎ: ﺃﺩﺧﻼ‌ﻧﻲ ﻓﻲ ﺳﻠﻤﻜﻤﺎ ﻛﻤﺎ ﺃﺩﺧﻠﺘﻤﺎﻧﻲ ﻓﻲ ﺣﺮﺑﻜﻤﺎ، ﻓﻘﺎﻝ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ (( ﻗﺪ ﻓﻌﻠﻨﺎ ﻗﺪ ﻓﻌﻠﻨﺎ)) 



5)     his loyalty: which doesn’t differentiate between the living and the dead. anas ibn malik narrated that when allah’s messenger (pbuh) was brought a gift to his wives he would say “take one to the house of so-and-so for she was a friend of khadija (the prophet's 1st dead wife) and she loved her”.

5- ﻭﻓﺎﺋﻪ: ﺍﻟﺬﻱ ﻟﻢ ﺑﻔﺮﻕ ﻓﻴﻪ ﺑﻴﻦ ﺍﻷ‌ﺣﻴﺎﺀ ﻭﺍﻷ‌ﻣﻮﺍﺕ، ﻓﻌﻦ ﺃﻧﺲ ﺑﻦ ﻣﺎﻟﻚ ﻗﺎﻝ: ﻛﺎﻥ ﺍﻟﻨﺒﻲ ﺇﺫﺍ ﺃﺗﻲ ﺑﻬﺪﻳﺔ ﻗﺎﻝ: ((ﺍﺫﻫﺒﻮﺍ ﺑﻬﺎ ﺇﻟﻰ ﺑﻴﺖ ﻓﻼ‌ﻧﺔ ﻓﺈﻧﻬﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﺖ ﺻﺪﻳﻘﺔ ﻟﺨﺪﻳﺠﺔ، ﺇﻧﻬﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﺖ ﺗﺤﺐ ﺧﺪﻳﺠﺔ)).
