The Quraysh knew only one thing would spare their lives – the generosity of RasulAllah ﷺ. The Quraysh knew they had confiscated the wealth of the Muslims, expelled them, and then begun a series of wars – actions that would demand strict retribution. Even if they have rejected Islam, I pray that Allah blesses their progeny to be Muslim.” Similarly, after the Conquest of Makkah RasulAllah ﷺ asked the people of Quraysh what they expected in their treatment from him. ’O Muhammad, if you want, command me and I will cause the two mountains of Taif to collapse upon them.” The Prophet ﷺ, still bleeding, his shoes wet with blood, said, “No! Rather, I pray that Allah blesses their children to be Muslims and worship Him alone. The Angel Jibraeel appeared and said, “O Muhammad, your Lord has seen how your people have responded to you, your Lord has seen what they have said to you, so he has sent me with the angel of the mountains to place at your disposal. Nothing depicts this better than when he was cast out of the city of Taif with blood flowing from wounds after being stoned in the streets. He did not only reciprocate kindness and generosity, he extended it even to those who were unkind, rude and abusive to him. Khadijah radi Allahu ‘anha, may Allah be pleased with her, reminded him, “Allah would never humiliate you, for you are good to your relatives, you are true to your word, you help those who are in need, you support the weak, you are generous to the guest and you answer the call of those who are in distress.” Generosity to His Enemies Even his enemies expected nothing but generosity from him. When he received his first revelation, he rushed home shaken by the experience. His Generosity before Revelation RasulAllah ﷺ was known for his generosity even before Prophethood. Making it seem that you are the one giving him that which you ask for. In the words of one poet: You see him, when you go to him, with a cheerful expression on his face. His manner was such that when one would take something from him, he or she would feel that they were doing the Prophet ﷺ a favor, and not the other way around. Unlike those who give charity with a reward in mind, whether it be respect, love, admiration or loyalty, RasulAllah (prophet of Allah) ﷺ expected none of these things. The best of human beings Muhammad ﷺ was an exemplar of this. Generosity is defined as giving freely without expecting anything in return. "O Allah! Shower Thy blessings and beneficence on Muhammad, Thy creature and Thy Messenger, and shower beneficence on all men of faith and women of faith, and Muslim men and Muslim women".
