"Praise be to Allah, and may prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family and companions. As for what follows:

No one among the people can fully inherit the personality and morals of the Messenger, peace be upon him, both outwardly and inwardly. The Prophet, peace be upon him, emphasized his distinction from others in several hadiths, including his saying, ""I am not like you,"" and ""The most pious and knowledgeable among you about Allah is me."" Lady Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, testified to the uniqueness of his worship and capability. And Allah chose Muhammad's heart, peace be upon him, because it is the best of servants' hearts, and then He chose the hearts of his companions to be the ministers of His Prophet. For more details, one can refer to the book of 'Ash-Shifa' by defining the rights of the Chosen One."
