Muhammad (saw) – The Perfect Man — Page 11
Muhammad sa The Perfect Man 11 He would look after the neighbours and milk their goats for them. 11 One of the most important and delicate tasks the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa had to perform was the safeguarding of the Revelation of the Holy Qur’ a n. The major part of his time was reserved for this purpose. Whether he received a revelation in his house or during some meeting, he always experienced a peculiar feeling since the task was an onerous one and he would perspire profusely. He would immediately call the scribe to record the revelation in writing. 12 Memorising the revelation and revising it for recitation in the Prayer service and pondering over its meanings was yet another demanding task the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa had to perform. Remembrance of All a h and Prayer The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa would begin every task with the recitation of Bismill a h. He said that anything that began without Bismill a h remained unblessed. 13 He remembered All a h all the time, no matter if he was free or engaged. He was undoubtedly the true picture of the saying: "While the hands work, the heart stays with the Beloved. " The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa had prayers for every occasion and every situation.
