John Davenport says about Prophet Muhammad:
“His simple eloquence, rendered impressive by the expression of a countenance wherein awfulness of majesty was tempered by an amiable sweetness, excited emotions of veneration and love.
He was gifted with that authoritative air of genius which alike influences the learned and commands the illiterate.
As a friend and a parent, he exhibited the softest feelings of our nature . . .
With all that simplicity which is so natural to a great mind, he performed the humbler offices whose homeliness it would be idle to conceal with pompous diction;
Even while Lord of Arabia, he mended his own shoes and coarse woollen garments, milked the ewes, swept the hearth, and kindled the fire, dates and water were his usual fare, and milk and honey his luxuries. When he travelled he divided his morsel with his servant.”
