He said to his uncle...

He said to his uncle, “By Allah O uncle, if they put the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left hand so that I give up this matter (the mission), I will never do until Allah will make it prevail or I shall die for it…” The Prophet’s grandson Imam al-Husayn (a.s.), the father of the free, had inherited this aspect from his grandfather when he stood against the head of ignorance and injustice Yazid bin Mo’awiya, Abu Sufyan’s grandson, and said his immortal word, “I do not see death except happiness and life with the unjust except boredom…” The Prophet (a.s.) kept on his struggle until Allah granted him victory and then he firmed monotheism everywhere and saved mankind from idolatry and ignorance.

High morality (a.s.) was a sign from the signs of Allah in morals and manners and he was distinguished from all the prophets and all human beings by his unequalled moralities. By his morals he could attracts the hearts, even of his opponents, and could unite the Arabs and lead them to purify the earth from idolatry and ignorance.

Therefore, Allah praised him in the Holy Qur'an when saying, (And most surely you are with sublime morality).[1] The Prophet (a.s.) said about himself, “Surely, I have been sent to accomplish the nobilities of character.” [2] [1] Qur'an, 68:4. [2] As-Sunan al-Kubra, vol. 10 p. 192, Itthaf as-Sadeh al-Muttaqin, vol. 6 p. 17, Kashful Ghumma, vol. 1 p. 244. The Prophet’s high morals were from the essence of his nature. They were neither affected nor acquired.

Historians say that the Prophet (a.s.) hated pretence and artificiality. He often prayed Allah saying, “O Allah, as You have bettered my creation, better my manners!” Here, we mentions some examples of his moralities. Some Jewish man was too spiteful to the Prophet (a.s.). He exaggerated in harming him. He threw soil and ashes on him whenever he passed by his house. One day, the Jew became ill. The Prophet (a.s.) went to the Jew’s house.

He knocked the door and the Jewish man’s wife opened the door. The Prophet (a.s.) said to her, “Your husband has accustomed us to some habit, but he stopped it and I suppose he is ill. Now, I am coming to visit him.” She permitted him in. when the Jew saw the Prophet (a.s.), he was surprised and said, “These are the morals of prophets.” He turned a Muslim and took away all spites from his heart toward the Prophet (a.s.).

When someone greeted the Prophet (a.s.) in the street, the Prophet (a.s.) did not leave until that person would leave first.
