Bismillah
Rock, may Allah Forgive your sins, expand and illuminate your grave
He never prostrated to an idole, he hated idols like nothing else.
When he was with his uncle Abu Talen on a trade trip, they met the monk Baheera who invited them because he was able to identify Mohamed's salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam signs of Prophethood, he asked him how do your feel about laat wal o`za (two major idols). He said I dont hate anything more than them and I never prostrated to them.
Bismillah
sorry if I will jump from one stage to another i know it is better to walk thru this in order but forgive me.
Even the non believers called him the truth sayer and the trustworthy.
When Khadija employed him for her trade, after coming back she inquired from her slave Maysara how come they made such an enormous amount of profit? he told her when people found out that Mohamed the truth sayer and trustworthy is handling the deals, they just bought without any hesitation.
Plus Allah Called him in Quran as:
"68:4
'And verily, you (O Muhammad) are on an exalted standard of character."
Matter of fact, if i want to translate the underlined part of the Ayah: I would say; you enjoy a high level of ethics, moral and manners.
salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam
