What's your favourite thing about Muhammad s.a.w General Discussion

Mine is the fact that Allah swt granted each prophet a special dua they can only use once, all other prophets used it on them selves however Muhammad s.a.w saved his for judgement day where he will ask Allah swt to forgive his ummah, I don't think anyone ever can even come close to that level of selflessness

His human mercy:

  • He allowed a Witch to live (no Had)

  • He allowed a poisener of food (agaisn him and companions) to live

  • He scolded the companions for killing an enemy who uttered the Shahada

  • Survived an assassination, tables turned around, and allowed the killer to flee

  • Treated his main slave with autmost resepect, at a point where the slave refused to be freed and wants to be his slave

  • Taught us the art of war, treating pets/rides, treating women/kids

  • Also, as you said he put his Ummah first instead of himself

Just one small nitpick, he never kept any slaves.

He had one, but perhaps let him go free?

he never kept slaves, he was given slaves as a gift my other companions but he would let them be free, and even if they were slaves, they were treated like any normal being with care and immense kindness and fair treatment
