He was truthfulness in the form of speech, actions and heart. He never lies or conversed nonsense words to his followers. He never hurt the feeling of his companions and did harmful acts to them. Above all, his words and actions had completely based on revelation and not exactly come from his desire.

AMANAH (TRUSTWORTHY)

He was called as ‘AL-AMIN’ or trustworthy among the people of Mecca since he was young. He was loved by those who entrusted to him their cash and valuables and they had great faith in him. Similarly in the case of trading the goods of Siti Khadijah, the Holy Prophet was honest and avoided the practice of riba, fraud and unfair dealings in the transaction.

FATHONAH (WISE AND INTELLIGENT)

He was very intelligent person although he had no formal education at early age. One simple example was his idea to place the Black Stone (hajarul aswad) back to the kaabah. The leaders. of different qabilah were fighting to put back the stone , but Prophet Muhammad solved it .Likewise in his case of war strategy, he would practice ‘SYURA’ or mutual consultation with his companions to determine the best decision.

He was the most intelligent person. It was reported by Wahb ibn Munabbih said :

“I have read seventy one books and all of them I found that the Prophet had the most superior intellect and best

opinion.”(al-Baihaqi)

Other than that, Rasulullah S.A.W is also a clean type person.The complete cleanliness of his body, the sweetness of his smell and perspiration and his freedom from bodily defect show a special quality given to him by Allah. Anas bin Malik said :

“I have not smelled amber, musk or anything more fragrant than the smell of the Messenger of Allah”

(Muslim and Al-Tirmidzi)

In term of food and drinks

The Hadis from A’isyah said :“The Prophet may Allah bless him, never filled his stomach

completely. When he was with his family he did not ask them for food nor desire it. If they fed it to him, he ate. He

accepted whatever they gave him.
