He told them of the secrets of their scriptures and spoke of their hidden sciences, and informed them of what they choose to conceal and how they had tampered with their Books.
As for Arab tribes, he was conversant with each dialect and knew the obscure words special to certain tribes. He knew each of the eloquent styles of pure Arabic. He knew the news of their battles, their wisdom, similes and the meaning of their poetry, his vocabulary encompassed all their words and he would use them to give clarifying parables or proverbs so that all were able to understand the depth of matters, and shed light on those words that were obscure.
He made the rules of the Law easy to understand, they were neither strict nor contradictory. The Law he brought taught the traits of good character, ethics and every kind of desirable characteristic, so much so that even an unbeliever could not raise any objection unless he became frustrated and just said anything in retaliation. Even the unbelievers in the "Time of Ignorance" who opposed or rejected him were not able to refute this and said what he brought was correct and did not attempt to prove it to be otherwise.
Prophet Muhammad made lawful what was good for everyone and forbade that which was opposite, and it was through this that he protected lives, honor and property from harm, and made them fear the Fire of the Everlasting Life.
