Who was the Prophet Muhammad (saw) and what was he like?

We have sent you a Messenger of your own who recites Our revelations to you and makes you grow in purity; and educates you in the Scripture, and wisdom, and teaches you what you knew nothing about. (Qur'an 2:151)

'Say (O Muhammad): I am only human, like yourselves. It is revealed to me that your God is (only) One God. So whoever hopes to meet his Lord should do good deeds, and not worship anyone but his Lord.' (Qur'an 18:110)

The Prophet (saw) said: 'My likeness in relation to the Prophets who came before me is that of a man who built a house, and made it fine and lovely, except that one brick in the corner was missing. The people went around it and wondered at its beauty, but said: 'If only that brick were put in its place!' I am that brick, and I am the seal of the Prophets'. (Bukhari)

The Prophet (saw) said: 'Every Prophet before me was sent to his people alone, but I have been sent to all mankind'. (Bukhari)

'Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra) [describing the Prophet (saw)] said: 'Anyone who saw him suddenly would stand in awe of him, and anyone who got to know him through spending time with him came to love him. Those who described him said that they had never seen anyone like him, before or since'. (Tirmidhi)

Anas ibn Malik (ra) said: 'I was in the Prophet's (saw) service for ten years, and he never once said ''Uff (i.e. shame)!' to me. When i did something (wrong) he never asked me, ''Why did you do that?'' When i did not do something (that i should have done) he never asked me ''Why did you not do that?'' The Messenger of Allaah (saw) had the best disposition of all people'. (Tirmidhi)

Ka'b ibn Malik (ra) reported: 'When the Messenger of Allaah (saw) was pleased, his face lit up as if it was a piece of the moon. That is how we could tell he was pleased'. (Bukhari, Ahmad)
