The Holy Nabi, Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim combined both perfection of creation and perfection of manners.

This impression on people can be deduced by the bliss that overwhelmed their hearts and filled them with dignity. Men's dignity, devotion and estimation of the Holy Last Messenger of Allah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim were unique and matchless. No other man in the whole world has been so honoured and beloved. Those who knew him well, were fascinated and enchanted by him.

Describing the Messenger of Allah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim, who passed by her tent on his journey of migration, Umm Ma'bad Al-Khuzaiyah said to her husband:

"He was innocently bright and had a broad countenance. His manners were fine. Neither was his belly bulging out, nor was his head deprived of hair. He had black attractive eyes finely arched by continuous eyebrows. His hair glossy and black, inclined to curl, he wore long. His voice was extremely commanding. His head was large, well-formed and set on a slender neck. His expression was pensive and contemplative, serene and sublime".

"The stranger was fascinated from a distance, but no sooner he became intimate with him than his fascination was changed into attachment and respect. His expression was very sweet and distinct. His speech was well set and free from the use of superfluous words, as if it were a string of pearls. His stature was neither too high nor too small to look repulsive. He was a twig amongst the two, singularly bright and fresh".

"He was always surrounded by his Companions. Whenever he uttered something, the listeners would hear him with rapt attention and whenever he issued any command, they vied with each other in carrying it out. He was a master and a commander. His utterance were marked by truth and sincerity, free from all kinds of falsehood and lies". [Zad Al-Ma'ad]

The Holy Prophet Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim was noted for superb eloquence and fluency in Arabic. He was remarkable in position and rank. He was an accurate, unpretending, straightforward speaker. He was well-versed in Arabic and quite familiar with the dialects and accents of every tribe. He spoke with his entertainers using their own accents and dialects. He mastered and was quite eloquent at both bedouin and town speech. So he had the strength and eloquence of bedouin language as well as the clarity and the decorated splendid speech of town. Above all, there was the assistance of Allah embodied in the revealed verses of the Holy Qur'an.

His stamina and endurance and forgiveness - from a commanding position his patience and standing what he detested - these were all talents, attributes and qualities Allah Almighty Himself had brought him on. Even wise men have their flaws, but the Holy Last Messenger of Allah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim unlike everybody the more he was hurt or injured, the more clement and patient he became. The more insolence an ignorant anybody exercised against him, the more enduring he became.
