٢٫١ أمانته وصدقه
2.1 His Honesty And Integrity
كان النبي ﷺ رجلاً عُرفت أمانته عند من حوله. بل إن قومه لقّبوه رسمياً بالأمين (الأمين)٥١. وحتى حين اضطهدوه ورفضوا رسالته، ظلوا يأتمنونه على أثمن ممتلكاتهم. قالت عائشة رضي الله عنها: «أمر النبي ﷺ عليّاً رضي الله عنه أن يبقى في مكة، ليردّ جميع الأموال التي كان رسول الله ﷺ يحفظها أمانةً للناس. لم يكن في مكة أحدٌ (حتى من أعدائه) له أموالٌ قيّمة يخاف عليها إلا أودعها عند رسول الله ﷺ، لما عُرف عنه من الصدق والأمانة. فمكث علي رضي الله عنه ثلاثة أيام وثلاث ليالٍ ليؤدي كل ما استودعه الناس عند رسول الله ﷺ، ثم لحق به ﷺ بعد أن أتمّ تلك المهمة».52
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was a person whose honesty was common knowledge to those around him. In fact, his clansmen had officially titled him al-Amīn (the Trustworthy).51 Even when they persecuted him and rejected his message, they still trusted him with their most precious possessions. ‘Āishah said, “He صلى الله عليه وسلم instructed ‘Alī to stay behind in Mecca, to return all the property the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم had held in trust for people. There was nobody in Mecca (even his enemies) who had valuables that he feared for except that he kept them with the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم, due to the honesty and trustworthiness that was known [to all] about him. ‘Alī stayed back for three days and three nights to deliver everything entrusted by the people to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم, and then caught up with him صلى الله عليه وسلم after completing that task.”52
