The Prophet's Mercy and Compassion
Allah says, "Indeed, there has come to you a Messenger from your own, he grieves for your suffering, and is anxious about you, and is gentle, merciful to the believers" (9:128) and speaks of Prophet Muhammad saying, "We have not sent you except as a mercy to all the worlds" (21:107). (Shaykh Darwish added: Allah made His Prophet's gentle disposition, concern and mercy encompass every sector of His creation. Part of the Prophet's excellence is that Allah adorned him with two of His Names when He said, "and is gentle, merciful" (9:128)).
Safwan said, "By Allah, he (the Prophet ) gave me what he gave me. To me he (the Prophet ) was the most hated of people yet he continued to give me until he became the most beloved of all people to me."
Upon reflection one sees that amongst his merciful way of dealing with his nation was that he made things easy for them. There were things he restrained himself from doing as he feared they might become obligatory for them. For example, he said, "If I had not been merciful to my nation, I would have ordered them to use a use a siwak (also called miswaak or sewak which is a hygienical tooth cleaning twig from the Arak, Peelu or Salvadora Persica trees. Its paste has now been added to Signal's range of tooth paste but they omitted to give the Prophet Muhammad the credit) each time they made ablution." What is meant by 'my nation' refers to everyone during the time of the Prophet and those who would come after, up until the Last Day.
The Prophet’s mercy and concern for his nation is further demonstrated in the amount of time to be spent during the night in prayer and the forbidding of continuous fasting. The reason he disliked entering inside the room within the Ka’bah was the fear that it might become obligatory upon his nation.
If the Prophet heard a child cry during the prayer, his tender loving care was evident. He would shorten his recitation and reduce the prayer essentials to the minimum.
The Prophet’s tender mercy is seen when he supplicated to Allah saying, "Should I ever curse a man, or supplicate against him, let it be for him charity, mercy, supplication, purification, and a coming closer by which he will come closer to You on the Day of Resurrection."
