Influence is usually praised by intelligent men and there is esteem in the hearts according to influence.

On the other hand, it is also the cause of a lot of misfortune and harm for some in the Everlasting Life. It is for this reason that there are those who have censured it and praised its opposite. Islamic Law also praises distancing oneself and censures pride in the earth.

The Prophet was a modest person. Love of him penetrated the heart as did the esteem in which he was held both before his prophethood in the Days of Ignorance and after. However, even in the hearts of those who belied him, injured him and his Companions or tried in secrecy to harm him he was well regarded. When he met them face-to-face they became respectful and gave him what he requested. Quotations relating to this fact are well-known and we will narrate to you some of them.

As for a person who had never seen the Prophet they would at first become astonished and timid when they saw him. The same was reported by Kayla when she first saw him and said that she began to tremble on account of timidity but he calmed her gently saying, "Poor girl, you must be calm."

The father of Masood reported that a man came before the Prophet and started to tremble, but the Prophet straight away put him at ease saying, "Relax, I am not a king."

Prophet Muhammad’s value is inestimable on account of his being not only a prophet, but the honor of his position and being a Messenger , his exalted rank and by being chosen by Allah, and in the Everlasting Life being the master of all the descendants of Prophet Adam, peace be upon him.
