Almighty Allah guarded him from committing the acts of the period of Ignorance and other evil deeds, because He wanted to exalt his status so that he may come out as the most excellent among his relatives with regard to greatness, good nature, observance of manners of society, kindness to neighbors, forbearance, trustworthiness and truthfulness. He never committed any vile deed and did not cause harm to anyone. He never entered into arguments and fights.

All the praiseworthy qualities had gathered in him in such a way that he was given the title of ‘Muhammad Amin’.[^5] Abul Fida writes: In the beginning of revelation, the Holy Prophet (S) returned home terrified and told his wife, Khadija: I am fearful about my own self. Khadija comforted him saying: Glad tidings be to you that Almighty Allah will not degrade you in any way.

Because you are good to relatives; you are truthful and share the difficulties of people; you help the poor and are hospitable and you assist others in worldly matters.[^6] Anas ibn Malik says: Before prophethood, The Holy (S) earned the title of Trustworthy (Amin) among the people as people had recognized his honesty and justice. Rabi ibn Khaitham says: During the period of Ignorance, people used to refer to The Holy (S) in their disputes.

Nadhr ibn Harith told Quraish: When Muhammad (S) was a child you considered him better than you with regard to truthfulness and honesty, but when he has matured and is sent to you as the prophet of God, you allege that he is a sorcerer. No, by Allah, he is not a magician.[^7] The Holy (S) was twenty years of age when he took part in Hilful Fuzool – that is the oath of the valiant.

Some well intending Arab gentlemen had devised this committee to protect the rights of oppressed and this was finalized at the house of Abdullah ibn Judan. They took oath that as long as they were alive, they would protect those who were oppressed and recover their rights from the usurpers.

The Holy (S) said with regard to this: I was present at the oath, which was taken in the house of Abdullah ibn Judan; and I would not like to be given red-haired camels in exchange for it; and even though Islam is established, if I am still called to it, I would respond.[^8] From such historical evidences, it can be concluded that The Holy (S), before declaration of prophethood was well known for his nice behavior, honesty, truthfulness, forbearance, justice, harmlessness and chastity.
