A glimpse into Hazrat Muhammad's (saw) character [Mawlid al-Nabi, Mawlid an Nabi]

Just as Hazrat Muhammad's (saw) birth and the events that followed his
blessed birthwere extraordinary and suggestive of his majesty and
supreme character, so his behaviour and manner of speaking in
childhood also made him different from other children. Hazrat Abd
Al-Muttalib, the chief of the Quraish tribe, did not treat his
grandson like other children, but held him in great respect and
reverence.
Hazrat Abu Talib ibn Abd Al-Muttalib, Hazrat Muhammad's (saw)
uncle,used to say, 'We have never heard any lies fromMuhammad, nor
have weseen him misconduct himself or make mischief.He never laughs
unduly nor speaks idly and he is mostly alone'.
Hazrat Muhammad (saw) was seven years old when the Jews remarked,'In
our Books we have read that the Prophet of Islam refrains from eating
any food which is religiously prohibited or doubtful. Let's try him'.
So they stole a hen and sent it to Hazrat Abu Talibibn Abd
Al-Muttalib. Not knowing that the hen had been stolen, all ate from
the cooked hen but Hazrat Muhammad (saw),who avoided even tasting it.
When they asked the reason for this avoidance of the food, he(saw)
answered, 'this food is forbidden by Allah (SWT), and Allah (SWT)
protects me against anything that He has forbidden.'
Then the Jews took a henfrom a neighbour, intending to pay for it
later on, and sent it to Hazrat Abu Talib ibn Abd Al-Muttalib's house.
Againhe (saw) avoided eating the hen, saying, 'this food is doubtful
and ...'
Then the Jews said, 'This child has an extraordinary character and a
supreme position'.
