“Although Muhammad was a master of the Arabian Peninsula; he never thought of titles, nor attempted to invest in that; rather, he remained the same, only as a messenger of God and a servant of the Muslims; he cleaned his house himself, and fixed his shoes with his own hands. He was generous and giving as the blowing wind, not sought by the poor or the miserable except that he granted them all that he had, which was usually a little and hardly enough.”
