He who has a right is entitled to speak
Abu Huraira ( may Allah be pleased with him ) reported:
The Messenger of Allah ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) owed (something) to a person. He behaved in an uncivil manner with him. This vexed the Companions of the Prophet (may Allah be pleased with them), whereupon the Messenger of Allah ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) said: He who has a right is entitled to speak, and said to them (his Companions): Buy a camel for him and give that to him. They said: We do not find a camel (of that age) but one with better age than that. He said: Buy that and give that to him, for best of you or best amongst you are those who are best in paying off debt.
Sahih al-Bukhar
The ethics of the Prophet ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) were like an uninterrupted sequence that formed his personal genius. Every aspect of his character was a key to his personality; since all of them have reached the level of human perfection. One can not say: The key to his personality is the forbearance, mercy, justice, or courage, but it is said: the key of his character is the noble morals, as described by Allah the Almighty ( interpretation of the meaning ) :
{ And indeed, you are of a great moral character.}
Quran ( 68 : 4 )
If you want to describe the morals of the Prophet ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), you may say: "Justice is his law, mercy is his way, forbearance is his guide, and generosity is his custom."
He was the Quran exemplified; he applied the meanings of the Quran to the extent that he was a copy of the Quran walking among people. They can see the verses of the Quran with their eyes and hear them with their ears through the character of the Messenger of Allah ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ).
The Prophet ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) was the ideal example of modesty and leniency; he did not differentiate between the free men and the slaves, nor between the rich and the poor.
The Prophet ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) is the best of the greatest people without exception. He is the best role model of all the creatures in terms of the virtuous morals and noble behavior, but only the believing people will follow him.
