Imam Nawawi Rahmatullah Alaih has written in his tahzib that Allah (the most high) had assembled all the excellencies and virtues of character and habits. In the person of the Holy Prophet SAW. Allah (the Most High) had endowed him with all the, knowledge of the ancient and later peoples, ever, though he was unlettered – being unable to read and write – and had no human teacher; yet he had been endowed with such knowledge as Allah (the most high) had not bestowed on anyone else. He was offered keys to the mundane treasures but he preferred the hereafter to the worldly riches.
Sayyidina Anas RA has related that the Holy Prophet SAW was the greatest possessor of knowledge and wisdom. He was the most honourable, just, humane and forbearing, virtuous and chaste, beneficent, patient and fortitudinous of all men.(Wasa’il-ul-wasul Ila Shama’il-Ar-Rasul). Bukhari and muslim have related on the authority of Sayyidina Anas RA.
