Of
Prophet
Muhammad
(PBUH)
 Surah Al-Zumar: 33

and those who ‫الص ْد ِق َو َص َّد َق‬ ِّ ‫ِب‬

 Introduction

If we look at the life of our holy Prophet Hazrat

Muhammad (SAW) before prophet-hood came
to him, he was given the titles of al-Amin and
Sadiq by the people of Makah because he was
honest. His truthfulness and honesty was the
foundation of his personality, which had already
set him far apart and above everyone.
 Quraish testified
to
the truthfulness of
Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH)
Once prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gathered the people of qureish, after
they had all gathered, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said,
If I told you that behind this mountain is cavalry who wish to attack you,
would you believe me? related by Al-Bukhari and
Muslim

The people declared openly, “We have never heard

you lie, even once.”
so he said, "I am a warner to you of a very severe torture (if you do
not hold the proper belief).” related by Muslim
The Lord of the worlds
testifying that Prophet
Muhammed (pbuh) was
truthful
Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) was very truthful. Those near and
far from him have testified to this, but the testimony of his Lord praising
him is enough. He (Glorified is He) says:
And the one who has brought the truth and [they who] believed in it - those
are the righteous. Surah Al-Zumar: 33
Rather, he has brought the truth and confirmed the Messengers Surah As-Saffat:
37

Your companion is neither astray or misguided, nor does he say [anything]

from [his own] desires. It is no less than inspiration sent down to him) Surah
An-Najm: 2-4
Modern science testifies to
the Prophet’s truthfulness
Proof of this can be found in the hadith narrated by Abdullah ibn Masoud, who said that
Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him), who is the truthful and the one who was truly
inspired, said,

(As regards your creation), every one of you is collected in the womb of his mother for the
first forty days, and then he becomes a clot for another forty days, and then a piece of flesh for
another forty days. Then Allah sends an angel to write four items: He writes his deeds, time of
his death, means of his livelihood, and whether he will be wretched or blessed (in the religion).
Then the soul is breathed into his body. Consequently, So a man may do deeds characteristic of
the people of the hell-fire, so much so that there is only the distance of a cubit between him
and it, and then what has been written (by the angel) surpasses him, and so he starts doing
deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise and enters Paradise related by Al-Bukhari
When Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) mentioned this hadith, it was
very strange, as there was no proof at all to support it. But now it contains well-
known facts of modern science. So who taught him such knowledge?
Similarly, concerning the hadith:
If a dog drinks from the container of any one of you, wash it [the container]
seven times, the first time being with dust related by Muslim
Modern science has proven that this is the correct way to clean such a container.
Prophet Muhammed’s
enemies testify to his
truthfulness
 Abu Sufyan
The best testimony about this is the conversation of Abu
Sufyan(before he entered Islam) with Hercules, the Roman leader.
The hadith states what Hercules asked Abu Sufyan,
“Did you use to accuse him of lying before he started to say what he
now says [that he has a Message from Allah]?
”He replied, “No.”
 Abu Sufyan
And at the end of the story, Hercules said to Abu Sufyan,
“I asked you if you used to accuse him of lying before he started to say
what he now says, and you said, ‘No.’ Consequently, I knew that he did not
lie to the people, so he would not lie about Allah.”Fath Al-Bari
What Abu Sufyan said and testified about Prophet Muhammed (peace be
upon him) is clear proof that the Prophet was truthful about his claim of
prophethood
 Abu Jahl

There is a testimony from one who was a stronger enemy of Prophet

Muhammed (peace be upon him); that is Abu Jahl. He testified to
Prophet Muhammed’s truthfulness and his claim to prophethood; his
nephew, Al-Miswar ibn Makhramah, asked about Prophet Muhammed
(peace be upon him), saying, “My uncle, did you used to accuse
Muhammed of lying before he said what he is now claiming?”
 Abu Jahl
Abu Jahl replied, “My nephew, by Allah, since the time Muhammed lived with us in
his youth, we used to call him by the nickname Al-Ameen (the trustworthy one). We
never accused him of lying at all.” Al-Miswar then asked, “Oh uncle, then why do
you not follow him?”
Abu Jahl replied, “My nephew, we (Bani ‘Abd Shams) and Bani Hashim have
competed with each other for honour.They fed the poor, and we did too. They
supplied the pilgrims with water, and we did too. They gave the right of protection
(to refugees), and we did too (and so on) until we were almost equal as two race
horses. Then they said, ‘A Prophet has appeared from among us.’ How could we
ever achieve anything like this?”
The Prophet’s Biography by Ibn Hesham
 The truthfulness of
Prophet Muhammed
(pbuh) at times of
seriousness and times of
humour
We have learnt about the Prophet’s truthfulness on important occasions, but at
times of humour Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) used to joke with his
Companions. However, he never said anything but the truth. Ibn Umar (may Allah
be pleased with him) narrated that Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) said,
I do not joke orby say anything but the truth related by At-Tabarani
Examples of his truthfulness while joking:
A man came to Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) and said, ‘“Oh
Messenger of Allah, give me a means to transport things.’” Prophet Muhammed
(peace be upon him) said, ‘“A baby camel will be given to you.’” The person said,
‘“What shall I do with a baby camel, O Messenger of Allah? (I want one to
transport things).’” The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied, ‘“Every
camel is always a ‘baby’ of another camel’ related by Abu Dawood
In fact, Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) warned the people against lying
when joking, saying,
Woe to those who lie when telling tales to make people laugh, woe to him related by
Ahmed and Abu Dawood
 How can you take
Prophet Muhammed
(pbuh) as an example
to follow

?
1
Be particular to be always truthful in
whatever you say or do, and remain
truthful and be close to those who are
truthful.
O believers! Be mindful of Allah and be with
those who are the truthful Surah

At-Tawba: 119
2
If you are in a situation when you want
to justify how you have acted, do not
rely on anything but the truth; it is the
way out of difficulties for whoever is
truthful.
3
Be truthful in all circumstances, while
joking and while being serious.
Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon
him) said,
Woe to those who lie when they speak in order
to make people laugh; woe to him, woe to him

related by Ahmed
4
Be truthful when you speak, at your
work, and with regards to your
intentions and commitments. Allah
(Glorified is He) says:
And when a matter is resolved upon, if they
were true to Allah it would be best for them

Surah Muhammed: 21
5
Follow the example of Prophet
Muhammed (peace be upon him) and
be truthful to receive the reward of the
truthful, to respect yourself, and for
the people to respect you.
