When the Prophet passed away, Abu Bakr kissed him and mentioned the sweetness of his aroma.
On one occasion, the Prophet's blood was cupped, whereupon Abdullah,
Zubair's son swallowed it. The Prophet did not object to what he had done but said, "Woe to you from the people and woe to the people from you." (Meaning Abdullah Zubair’s son would be tested by people and people would be tested by him).
Abbas' son said that as the Prophet slept he heard him breathing deeply. He woke up to pray but did not make ablution. Ikrima said, "That was because he was protected by Allah." (Shaykh Darwish added: When he slept his eyes were closed but his heart and internal being were not in the status of sleep, therefore he would make ablution only when it was needed. The Prophet said, "My eyes sleep but my heart does not.")
The Prophet's Intellect, Eloquence and Astuteness
The Prophet was gifted by Allah with the most excellent intellect. He was astute and his senses were acute. As for his speech he was by far the most eloquent. Allah also gifted the Prophet with graceful movement and the excellent faculties. There is no doubt that these qualities were unsurpassable.
The superiority of Prophet intellect and depth of understanding become evident when one reflects upon the way in which he administered not only the internal affairs of his nation but also external affairs – no matter whether they were the affairs of just ordinary people or those of the hierarchy of society. The Prophet’s ability was truly amazing, and his life exemplary, coupled with profound knowledge that simply flowed from him and the way in which, without previous instruction, experience, or reading scriptures directed him to carry out and fulfill the Laws of Allah.
It is recorded in the Muwatta' of Imam Malik, that the Prophet said, "I am able to see you when you are behind me." The narrations of Anas in the Bukhari and Muslim Collections say likewise.
Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, said something similar to which she added, "It is something extra which Allah gave him as an additional proof."
It is also reported that the Prophet said, "I can see whosoever is behind me in the same way I see whosoever is in front of me."
