[20]. Muhammad, God's messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “No one has a greater sense of honor than Allāh. No one loves to allow excuses more than Allāh. For this reason, He sent the Messengers to give glad tidings and warnings. No one loves to be praised more than Allāh on account of what Allāh has promised of Paradise.”
[21]. One of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad said: "We were with the prophet – may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him – on a journey when we were approached by a Bedouin.
When the prophet saw him he said to him, ‘To where are you heading?’ The Bedouin said, ‘To my family.’ The prophet asked, ‘Do you wish to have a good thing?’ The Bedouin asked, ‘What would that be?’ The prophet replied, ‘To bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, who has no partners and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.’
The Bedouin asked, ‘And who will testify to what you say?’ The prophet answered, ‘This palm tree will.’ So the prophet called to the tree that was in a valley by the seashore and it came to him, crawling on the ground until it stood up right between his hands. So the prophet made the tree say the testimony of faith that there is no true god but Allāh alone and that Muhammad is His messenger three times and then it returned to where it was planted before.
The Bedouin then returned to his people and said, ‘If they follow me I will bring them (to Muhammad) otherwise I will return to him myself."
[22]. I.e., address them with mild words of gentleness, avoiding improper words and harshness.
Muhammad, God's Messenger ﷺ said, "Allāh loves one who is righteous, independent, obscure". It is he who have a strong faith in Allāh and do good deeds out of love for Him and abstain from sins, who do not ask from others, rather work hard to earn for his livelihood, who is obscure and unnoticed and do not seek fame or recognition but rather do good deeds out of pure intentions without expecting anything in return, and who demonstrate humility, selflessness, and faithfulness towards Allāh.
The Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ embodied perfect mercy and gentleness in his character. He never sought revenge for personal wrongs, but only for violations against the limits of Allāh. And whenever he was given a choice between two matters, he would choose the easier of the two — so long as it was not sinful.”
Through his forbearance and compassion, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ transformed hearts — teaching that true strength lies not in retaliation but in mercy, patience, and restraint for the sake of Allāh.
[23]. The Prophet Muhammad said: "The best of you are those who, when they are seen, Allāh God the Mighty, the Majestic is remembered."
