The authorities agree in ascribing to the youth of Muhammad [pbuh] modesty of
deportment, virtuous behaviour and graceful manners. He proved himself to be the
ideal of manhood, and to possess a spotless character. He was the most obliging to
his compatriots, the most honest in his talk and the mildest in temper. He was the
most gentle-hearted, chaste, hospitable and always impressed people by his pietyinspiring countenance. He was the most truthful and the best to keep covenant. His
fellow-citizens, by common consent, gave him the title of Al-‘Ameen (trustworthy).
The Mother of believers, Khadijah [R], once said: He unites uterine relations, he
helps the poor and the needy, he entertains the guests and endures hardships in the
path of truthfulness. [Bukhari 1/3]
