leen paul (1652 – 1719) does not hide that he has been influenced by muhammad (peace be upon him). in his book "a message in the arab's history" he talks about the mercy in the prophet’s character with words full of admiration, saying: 

"muhammad was very kind, brave, moral…none can verdict him without being affected by these characters.

prophet muhammad tolerated the harm of his folks for years with great patience. he never drew out his hand when shaking hands even with a kid. he never passes by any group of people without greeting them with a wide smile and a voice full of peace enough to let anyone hearing him admire everything about him……..
