After the death of Abu Bakr, Asma' Married [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] and thus Muhammad came to live and be raised by the Imam (a). Muhammad was closely acquainted with the Imam's (a) lifestyle and character, which made him love the Imam (a) abundantly. The Imam (a) also loved Muhammad and would call him "My son". In ''[[Nahj al-balagha]]'', it is reported that the Imam (a) said, "He was my friend, and I raised him like my own child." | After the death of Abu Bakr, Asma' Married [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] and thus Muhammad came to live and be raised by the Imam (a).<ref>Shūshtarī, ''Majālis al-mu'minīn'', vol. 1, p. 277; Ṭurayḥī, ''Majmaʿ al-baḥrayn'', vol. 1, p. 231 and vol. 4, p. 88; Ibn Athīr, ''Usd al-ghāba'', vol. 4, p. 326; Balādhurī, ''Ansāb al-ashrāf'', vol. 1, p. 538</ref> Muhammad was closely acquainted with the Imam's (a) lifestyle and character, which made him love the Imam (a) abundantly.

Most sources of early Islamic history acknowledge Muhammad's honesty, righteousness, and nobility. According to a [[hadith]], "Although he [i.e., Muhammad] was not of the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]], he was a noble person like them; he was the blest and purest person among his own family." Imam Ali (a) is reported to have said, "May [[Allah]] forgive Muhammad! He strived as much as he could and fulfilled his duty." Muhammad always wanted good for people. He would accept criticisms and would ask people to inform him of any wrong conduct they may notice from him. | Most sources of early Islamic history acknowledge Muhammad's honesty, righteousness, and nobility.
