Prophet Muhammad , described the noble lineage of Prophet Joseph, saying, "The noble son of a noble son, of a noble son of a noble man, Joseph, son of Jacob, son of Isaac, son of Abraham the prophet., son of a prophet, son of a prophet, son of a prophet."
He also said, "The eyes of the prophets slept, but their hearts did not sleep."
Abu Hurayrah heard the Prophet say, "Recitation was made easy for him. He would order his mount and turn it loose, and would finish his recitation before his mount wandered off."
David ate only from the labor of his own hands and would ask Allah to provide for him from the work of his own labor so that he would not need to take anything from the treasury. Allah tells us, "And We softened iron for him, (saying) 'Make large coats of mail and measure their links well.'" (34:10-11).
Prophet Muhammad told his Companions, "The prayer Allah loves most is that of David, and the fast Allah loves most is that of David. He would sleep for half of the night, stand up for a third and sleep again for a sixth. He would fast alternate days. He wore wool and slept on hair. He ate barley bread mixed with salt and ashes.
Prophet Muhammad spoke of the trials of previous prophets saying, "Some of the prophets before me were tested with poverty …. They preferred trials as you prefer gifts."
These reports have all been recorded and the perfect attributes of the prophets and messengers together with their good character, handsome features and qualities are well known. Should you read contrary to these reports in other books, know that the historian or commentator is among the ill-informed.
We have already spoken about several of the Prophet's praiseworthy qualities, his excellent virtues and perfect attributes, and brought you ample proof through reliable reports that all these qualities are truthful. However, one must be aware that these reports are but a sample and that there are so many more to learn, collect and study.
