Jawamiul Kalim: The Eloquence of the Prophet [1:28]
Prophet Muhammad was known for "jawamiul kalim," concise yet comprehensive speech. An example is the hadith "innamal a'malu bin niyat," which led to the development of ushul fiqh principles. This hadith illustrates how a short statement can address numerous problems in religious life. The principle "al umuru bimaqasidiha" (things are judged by their intentions) is derived from this hadith. Other examples include the hadith about innovation being rejected and Allah only accepting what is good.

The story of Uwais al-Qarni, a Tabi'in, illustrates that worldly recognition is not as important as Allah's favor. Despite being unknown to most people, Uwais was highly esteemed by Allah. The Quran states that Allah gives power and honor to whom He wills.
