The last blog was describing the noble characteristics of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, so that muslims can strive to adopt them.
A Hadith found in Shama’il E Tirmidhi, number 215, mentions the following characteristics. The Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, always seemed to be worried as he spent much time pondering over the hereafter and the fate of his followers. He was always deep in thought. Because of this he never seemed fully relaxed. When he spoke he spoke clearly and slowly so he could be easily understood. He spoke concisely meaning, his few words contained an ocean’s worth of knowledge. In fact, this was one of the miracles Allah, the Exalted, gifted him. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 1167. The Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was not short tempered nor did he insult or disgrace others. He was always grateful for all the blessings of Allah, the Exalted, even if they appeared small. He never criticized food. He was never angered over worldly things. But he was greatly angered when the limits of Allah, the Exalted, were crossed but even then he always remained just and merciful. The laugh of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was a smile.
In a Hadith found in Shama’il E Tirmidhi, number 227, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, confirmed that he sometimes joked but always spoke the truth. Unfortunately, some muslims seem to believe that it is acceptable to tell small lies which are termed white lies. But this is not true. All lies must be avoided as the Holy Quran has cursed those who lie. Chapter 3 Alee Imran, verse 61:
“…and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars [among us].”
In fact, in a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 2315, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, declared three curses for the one who lies while joking. If this is the case for lying while joking can one imagine the consequences of lying while deceiving others? The one who does not lie even when joking has been promised a castle in the middle of Paradise. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sunan Abu Dawud, number 4800.
