Even when the Prophet’s people rejected him, his mercy prevailed. We recall the time when the Archangel Gabriel, peace be upon him, came to him saying, "Allah has heard what your nation say and their rejection of you. He has ordered the Angel of the Mountains to obey whatever you tell him to do." Thereafter, the Angel of the Mountains called him and greeted him saying, "Send me to do whatsoever you wish. If you wish I will crush them between the two mountains of Mecca." In his tender, caring mercy, the Prophet replied, "No, rather it is my hope that Allah will bring forth from their loins those who will worship Allah alone and not associate anything with Him."
Lady Ayesha, Mother of Believers, may Allah be pleased with her, confirmed that whenever the Prophet was given the choice between two matters he always chose the easier of the two.
Masood's son commented, "The Messenger of Allah was careful when he warned us because he feared it might tire us."
There was an occasion when Lady Ayesha, peace be upon her, rode an obstinate camel, whereupon the Prophet spoke gently to her saying, "You should be merciful" (so that others may follow her example).
The Integrity of the Prophet in Promises and Family Ties
Anas tells us a gift was given to the Prophet and he said, "Take it to such-and-such a lady's house, she was a friend of Khadijah and loved her."
Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, said, "When the Prophet mentioned Khadijah, I felt no woman had a greater advantage than her. When he sacrificed a sheep he would send some to her friends and when her sister asked permission to enter he was happy to see her."
Lady Ayesha also said, "A lady came to him and he welcomed her with kindness and inquired about her at length. When she left the Prophet said, 'She used to come to us when Khadijah was with us. Maintaining promises is part of belief."
The Prophet said, "The tribesmen of the children of so-and-so are not my friends, but there are kindred ties between us, so we will treat them with kindness on account of their kinship."
The Prophet’s daughter, Lady Zaynab, may Allah be pleased with her, had a daughter named Umamah whom the Prophet used to carry on his shoulders. When he prostrated he would put her down, and when he stood up he would pick Umamah up.
