the english scholar dorrany [1] referring to the moral of mercy of prophet muhammad (peace be upon him) says:

“i can say with all strength that there isn’t any new muslim that doesn’t hold in his soul the gratitude to our master muhammad (peace be upon him) for what he pervades him of love, assistance, guidance and inspiration. thus he is the good model that allah has sent to us out of mercy and love to us to trace his footsteps (peace be upon him).
