Al-Makki ibn Ibrahim narrated to us; he said: Saʿid related from Qatadah, from Zurarah ibn Awfa, from Saʿd ibn Hisham, who said, “I asked ʿA’ishah—may Allah be pleased with her—about the character of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. She replied, ‘His character was the Qur’an.’”
