Courage and bravery are two more virtues apparent in the Prophet . Courage is a virtue, a component of which is doing the right thing without fearing the consequences being controlled by one's intellect and wisdom. Bravery is a praiseworthy virtue and overcomes the fear of harm to one's self. An example is when one engages in combat despite the odds being against oneself.
Al-Bara was asked, "Did any of you desert the Messenger of Allah at the encounter of Hunain?" Al-Bara replied, "But the Messenger of Allah did not flee. I saw him on his white mule, and Abu Sufyan was holding its reins and the Prophet was saying, 'I am the Prophet and it is not a lie, I am the son of Abul Muttalib!'"
Al-Abbas, relating to Hunain, was heard to say, "When the Muslims and the unbelievers met, the Muslims turned in retreat. I tried to hold his (the Prophet’s) mule back, not wanting it to rush forward, whilst Abu Sufyan walked briskly by his saddle, as the Prophet called out, 'O Muslims!'" (Shaykh Darwish added: There were many occasions when the Prophet encountered perilous situations, however, he never faltered, he remained steadfast despite the circumstances, even when the most courageous and heroic of his Companions retreated. Once decided to advance, he was never seen to either retreat or waver, there has never in the history of mankind been a person so brave.)
Omar's son said, "I have never seen any one more brave, nor any one who rushed to protect, nor more generous, or easier to please, or better than the Messenger of Allah ."
Ali said, "We were concerned for the Messenger of Allah when there were fierce, dangerous encounters, and fear was intense. However, there was no one closer to the enemy than he. I was near him and saw him on the Day of Badr, and he was at the forefront against the enemy. He was the bravest of all on that day."
Anas said, "The Prophet was the most excellent, most generous and bravest of all people."
One night something caused the people of Medina to become alarmed so they went out in search of the disturbance. However, the Messenger of Allah had already gone in search before them, riding on Abu Talha's unsaddled horse to find the cause of the disturbance, with his sword strapped around his neck and met them as he was returning. He told them, "Do not be alarmed."
Ubayy, Khalaf's son had been taken captive at the Battle of Badr and then
ransomed and was bent on taking his revenge against the Prophet . In his hatred Ubayy threatened the Prophet saying, "I have a horse and each day I feed it several measures of corn. I will kill you, if I am riding him!" The Prophet replied, "If Allah wills, I will kill you."
Sometime after, during the Battle of Uhud the occasion presented itself and
