Ata, Yasar's son met Abdullah, Amr's son, who was the son of Al As and
asked him to described the Messenger of Allah . He said, "Indeed, by Allah some of the characteristics described in the Koran are found in the Torah that reads, 'O Prophet, We have sent you as a witness, a bearer of good tidings and to be a warner, and a refuge for the illiterate. You are My worshipper and My Messenger, I will name you the one upon whom people rely. You will be neither ill mannered nor vulgar, nor will you shout in the market place or repay evil with evil, rather, you will pardon and forgive. Allah will not cause him to die until the crooked religion (Judaism also Christianity) has been straightened by him and they declare 'There is no god except Allah!' Through him, eyes that were blind, ears that were deaf and hearts which were covered will be opened." A similar narration is reported by Abdullah, Shalom’s son and Ka'b Al Ahbar.
In the Koran Allah tells us, "And to those who shall follow the Messenger – the Unlettered Prophet (Muhammad) whom they shall find written with them in the Torah and the Gospel. He will order kindness upon them and forbid them to do evil. He will make good things lawful to them and prohibit all that is foul. He will relieve them of their burdens and of the shackles that had weighed upon them. Those who believe in him and honor him, those who aid him and follow the light sent forth with him shall surely prosper.' Say, 'O mankind, I am the Messenger of Allah to you all. His is the kingdom in the heavens and the earth. There is no god except He. He revives and causes to die. Therefore, believe in Allah and His Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, who believes in Allah and His Words. Follow him in order that you are guided.'" (7:157-158)
Allah also says, "It was by the Mercy of Allah that you (Prophet Muhammad) dealt so leniently with them. Had you been hardhearted, they would have surely deserted you. Therefore ask forgiveness for them. Take counsel with them in the matter and when you are resolved, put your trust in Allah. Allah loves those who trust" (3:159)
As-Samakandi commented upon this verse saying, "Allah reminds them that, He made His Messenger merciful, compassionate and lenient to believers. If he had been harsh, and spoken to them sternly, they would have deserted him. But Allah made him generous, tolerant, kind and gentle."
Abul Hasan Al Qabisi explained the verse, "And so We have made you a median nation, in order that you will be a witness above people, and that the Messenger be a witness above you" (2:143) saying, "Allah makes the excellence of our Prophet very clear and also the excellence of his nation."
