Lessons from the Tremendous Character of the Prophet – from Busiri’s Hamziyya

Imam Busiri states: *.Every quality of his that you mention / He encompasses it in meaning; *.A master whose laughter was smiling, whose walking / was dignified & whose sleep was light; *.His character was but a sweet breeze / And his countenance but a rich garden; *.All mercy, determination, & resolve / With dignity, guardedness, & modesty; *.Hardship would never find him without patience / Not would joyous matters find him without dignity; *.His self was noble, so ill would / not occur to his heart, nor vileness; *.God’s blessings upon him were great / Making other great ones seem small; *.His people acted ignorantly with him and he overlooked / For the way of the forbearant is to overlook; *.He encompassed all creation in knowledge & forbearance / So he’s an ocean, unaffected by what they threw at him; *.He considered your world so paltry you can’t / Ascribe holding back to him, nor giving; *.A sun of virtue, conviction affirms that / he is the sun in rank and radiance.
