By means of his ideal moralities...

By means of his ideal moralities, he could seize the hearts, and deserved, worthily, the praise of God: “Most surely, you conform yourself to sublime morality. (68:4)” Imam Ali (a), describing the moralities of the holy Prophet (S), said: “He was the most generous, the bravest, the most truthful and the most faithful, and in terms of temper, the most lenient and in terms of association, the most honorable.

Any one seeing him for the first time is filled with awe, and any one associating with him loves him. I have never seen his like before and after him[^11].” As a picture of the Prophet’s moral conduct, it is sufficient to refer to his story with people of Koreish[^12] who allied each other against him and showed him various sorts of bitterness that obliged him to flee his hometown. When God gave him victory against them, they were quite sure he would revenge himself upon them.

He said nothing to them but, ‘what do you think I am going to do with you?’ ‘Only the good, for you are a noble brother and the son of a noble brother,’ answered they. He said: ‘I will repeat the same wording of my brother Joseph the prophet: (Today, you are not condemned.) Go, you are released.’ Anas narrated: I was with the Prophet who was putting a garment of a tough margin when a Bedouin pulled him so violently that the margin of his garment left an effect on his neck.

‘Muhammad,’ said the Bedouin, ‘load on my two camels with the fortune of God that is in your possession, because it is neither yours nor your father’s.’ The Prophet (S) kept silent for a while before he said, ‘The fortune is Allah’s, and I am His servant.’ He then added, ‘Do you, Bedouin, not think you will be retaliated for you deed?’ ‘No, I do not,’ answered the Bedouin. ‘Why?’ asked the Prophet.

The Bedouin said, ‘Because you do not set evil for an evil.’ The Prophet laughed and ordered to load on the back of the Bedouin’s camel with barley and wheat[^13]. Amirul-Mu'minin[^14] (a) narrated: The Prophet (S) told the very rich Jew whom he had owed a few dinars[^15] that he had nothing to pay him back at that time. The Jew decided not to leave the Prophet before he would pay him. The Prophet therefore sat with him.

In the same place, he offered the Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Eshaa, and Fajr prayers.
