When one reads, and explores the Prophet’s character by delving into the decisive proofs of his prophethood there is no room for doubt. We will make it concise, rather than embarking on long, detailed stories and individual cases as it would be impossible to cover them all.
The Prophet’s intellect caused him to be steadfast in the matters Allah taught him, and he became knowledgeable of not only past, but present and future events, and he became engrossed in the wonderment of the power of Allah and the enormity of His angelic hosts.
Allah says, "Allah has sent down to you the Book and the Wisdom and He has taught you what you did not know. The Bounty of Allah to you is ever great" (4:113).
When intellectuals attempt to assess the overflowing favors of Allah to the Prophet they become bewildered. Tongues become speechless, unable to describe them, let alone encompass them.
The clemency, patience and pardoning of the Prophet
Amongst the multiple excellent manners of the Prophet are clemency, forbearance, patience and pardoning when it was expected that he might punish and his patience during times of hardship.
Clemency is the condition of dignity and constancy during provocation.
Forbearance means being able to restrain oneself and enduring pain and injury.
Patience has a similar meaning. Pardoning means, abandonment of blame and charge.
Forgiving means withholding oneself against someone's violation.
