On another occasion a man accused the Prophet with unfairness and said, "Be fair, this is a division by which the Face of Allah is not desired!" It was indeed a provoking statement yet the Prophet just drew the man’s attention in a polite manner by admonishing him and reminding him, by saying, "Who will be fair if I am not fair? Indeed, I would fail and be lost if I did not act fairly." One of the Companions was outraged by the man's accusation and was about to strike him, but the Prophet intervened and stopped him.
Jabir, son Abdullah said, "We went to war with the Prophet near Najd. The Prophet stopped for a rest at mid-day in a certain place, and his Companions chose a shade tree for him, under which he might rest so he went under the tree, hung his sword upon it and slept. While he was sleeping a Bedouin came up to him, and drew his sword. He asked, "Who will protect you from me!" "Allah, the Mighty" replied the Prophet . Upon hearing this, the hand of the Bedouin started to tremble, and his sword fell from his hand. The Prophet said, "Now, who will protect you from me?" Whereupon the Bedouin, Ghawrath, Al Harith's son replied, "Punish me in the best way" whereupon the Prophet asked, "Do you bear witness that there is no god except Allah." The Bedouin replied, "No, but I will promise that I will not fight you and I will not be with any who fight against you." Thereupon the Prophet let him go and Ghawrath returned to his companion saying, "I have come to you from the best of all humanity."
