You should be aware that you have burdened me with a very difficult task, and that this task is a momentous undertaking and my heart is filled with apprehension.
In order to produce this work it is necessary for me to evaluate the primary sources and examine the secondary sources, and research in both depth and detail the science of what is necessary for the Prophet what is permissible or forbidden in respect of him. It also necessitates a deep knowledge of the Prophet’s Messengership and prophethood coupled with the love, and intimate friendship and the extra special qualities of his superlative rank.
Here one finds a vast desolate desert in which even the native bird becomes perplexed and unable to cross, and unknown places in which intellect, if it is not guided by the direction of knowledge and clarity of thought, go astray. It is a slippery slope where feet slip if they do not rely solely upon success and support from Allah. I have, however, great hopes of a reward for both of us in answering your questions by exposing the tremendous value and superb character together with the exceptional qualities of the Prophet all of which none of creation ever possessed.
I quote now the saying of Allah defining his duties, "So that those to whom the Book was given are certain and those who believe increase in belief" (74:31). Those to whom Allah gave the Book were obligated by Him to clarify it to the masses and not to conceal it. To support this statement I quote the Prophetic saying narrated by Abu Hurayrah, the well learned Companion, who tells us that the Prophet said, "Allah will bridle anyone with a bridle of fire on the Day of Resurrection who, when asked about religious knowledge conceals it." And it is for this reason I hastened my search to find some clear anecdotes, thereby achieving the object of my goal and fulfilling the obligation. In this life a person's body and mind are occupied with trials and affliction, and tested thereby. Needless to say such matters can easily distract him/her from his obligation, and voluntary actions and a person, who after having achieved the best status can be reduced to the lowest, it is for this reason that I seize upon these anecdotes.
When Allah chooses the best for a person, He totally immerses him/her without restriction in his concern for that which will be praiseworthy both now and in the Everlasting Life. On the Day of Judgement there will only be bliss or the punishment of Hell, it is for this reason that a person should attend to his own affairs seeking the salvation of his/her own soul, and increasing the number of his good deeds as well as acquiring useful knowledge for the benefit of himself and others.
Allah is the One who mends our broken hearts. He forgives the enormity of our sins. He enables us to prepare for
