I AM THE PROPHET I am the prophet, it is no blip I am the son of Abdul-Muttalib. He was the strongest of the creation, the teadiest in composure, and the bravest at heart, to the extent that in the battle of Uhud his companions were wounded and killed ; but he never weakened nor gave up... The world had never witnessed a man more courageous, more steadfast, and more enduring than he... And nor inclines to leisureliness. He was the most abstemious of the people in pastime and leisureliness ; rather than that, all his life was diligence, resoluteness and decisiveness, and his meeting was a sitting of modesty, kindness, faith, dignity, and peace of mind. He does not laugh or speak in a loud voice in the markets. He is a cornerstone to the humble. He is the unquenchable, unflickering light of the Lord till he sets the foundations of My cause on earth, and after him no excuse shall be accepted. He is a refuge to the unlearned. You are my servant and My messenger, and I called you : al-Mutawakkil (the one who has a correct approach to the concept of dependence on God). You are neither rude nor crude, nor boisterous in the markets. He does not answer an offence with an offence. He forgives and pardons. He opens the blind eyes, the deaf ears, and brings life to the closed hearts. The sign of his authority (and prophethood) is in between his shoulders. - O Muhammad ! What is the religion you are sent out with ? - The true religion, the Prophet replied. - But you are mixing it with other religions ! - I brought it with me white. Did not the learned men of the Jews and the Nazarenes tell you about my trait ? - It is not what they described. - You are lying. - No I am not. - God causes the liar to die lonely and chased. - Amen, replied the monk. He is the last of the prophets, and between him and Jesus there is no other prophet. He is the unlearned Arabic prophet, and his name is Ahmad. He is neither tall nor short, and there is redness in his eyes. He is neither white nor dark. He lets his hair grow long, wear coarse clothes, always content to eat whatever he finds of food. His sword is on his shoulder, and he is not afraid of him who wants to fight him. He would start to fight himself and his Companions with him do not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for him. He is dearest to them than their own children and their fathers. He comes out from the land of Qarz, from a holy land he comes and to a holy land he migrates, to an uncultivated land with palm trees. He embraces the religion of Abraham, wraps up himself around the waist, washes his limbs clean, and he is given above all other prophets - special distinctions. A prophet used to be sent to his people ; he is sent to all the people of the world. The earth is made for him a place of prostration and cleanliness.
