~Ethics of Prophet Muhammad~(6) ( renewed topic)

The Muhammadan Courage (Bravery)
Courage is a virtuous temper, a gracious description and a righteous characteristic especially when it is in the mind as it is in the heart and when its owner is one of those who have knowledge and belief.

Courage in heart means not to have fear from what usually causes the horror. Courage in mind means not to look at the end of the matters when they are known to be right. The beloved Muhammad, God’s blessing and peace be upon him, was of the most courageous men. There was no one like him. This is clear in the following holy verse from the sura of «The Women», when God Himself asks his Prophet to fight alone, {Then fight in God’s cause- Thou art held responsible only for thyself and rouse the Believers}
(The Women V., 84.)


Of the indications and manifestations of the Prophet’s courage are the following:
1. The testimony of the courageous heroes. Ali, may God be pleased with him who was of the heroes said, «When terror reached its climax and when the irises (pupils of the eyes) became red (because of anger), we sought protection with the Messenger of Allah. That is he protected us from the beatings and stabbings».

2. In the battle of Hunain, the companions of the Prophet were defeated and they ran away because of the difficult confrontation with the enemy due to the various ambushes the enemy set for them. However, the Prophet remained alone in the battleground. He fought and fought alone. Later his companions joined him again and the enemy was defeated. Their defeat was because of a sin they committed. They always said, «Today, we are never to be defeated because our number is large». God, the Great and Almighty, mentioned them in His Holy Book in the sura of «Repentance» when He said, {And on the day of Hunain: Behold! your great numbers elated you, but they availed you naught}
(Repentance V., 25.)


3. - In the battle of ‘Uhud and during the battle, Ubbay Ibn Khalaf, God curse him, saw the Prophet, God’s blessing and peace be upon him, and he cried, «Where is Muhammad? I shall not be saved if he is so». He approached the Prophet riding his horse in order to kill him. Some Muslim men faced him but the Prophet said, «Let him pass». Then the Prophet took the spear from the hand of al-Harith Ibn al-Summa and he trembled a very strong tremble which caused his companions to spread out of him as when the hair spread out of the camels and he hit the unbeliever (Ibn Khalaf) with a grapping stab in his neck and that caused him to fall off his horse saying, «Muhammad has killed men».

this is our prophet Mohammed may peace be upon him his family and companion
