Surah Al-'Imran
Among the Qualities of Our Prophet Muhammad are Mercy and Kindness:
- Allah addresses His Messenger and reminds him and the believers of the favor that He has made his heart and words soft for his Ummah, those who follow his command and refrain from what he prohibits.
"And by the mercy of Allah, you dealt with them gently" [3:159].
- meaning, who would have made you this kind, if it was not Allah's mercy for you and them.
- Qatadah said that, "And by the mercy of Allah, you dealt with them gently" 3:159 means, "With Allah's mercy you became this kind.''
-Al-Hasan Al-Basri said that this, indeed, is the description of the behavior that Allah sent Muhammad salAllahu alayhi sa sallam with.
This Ayah is similar to Allah's statement,
"Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger from among yourselves. It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty. He is anxious over you (to be rightly guided, to repent to Allah); for the believers (he is) full of pity, kind, and merciful." [9:128]
- Abdullah bin `Amr said that he read the description of the Messenger of Allah in previous Books, "He is not severe, harsh, obscene in the marketplace or dealing evil for evil. Rather, he forgives and pardons.''
How Kind is Allah to bless us with such a rahma/mercy: our prophet Muhammad salAllahu alayhi wa sallam! He was the most kind and soft hearted man towards the ummah, alhamdulillah. May Allah make us have these beautiful qualities of being kind, forgiving, pardoning etc ameen.
