Yes, Prophet Muhammad, SAW, was 1) temperate 2) peaceful with his neighbors 3) loving 4) patient 5) humble, etc. He was meek, he was merciful. There are so many examples of this in hadith & the Qur'an. For example, in the battle of Badr...a certain prisoner of war was not killed (the Prophet, SAW, showed mercy) & the man later converted to Islam once he learned the truth about Islam. When lands or territories were captured, people were not forced to convert to Islam, they had protected status as dhimmi, they just had to pay a tax if they wanted to stay. This is an example of mercy & getting along with ones neighbors. Prophet Muhammad, SAW, was known for showing mercy even to animals. A cat fell asleep in the arm of his robe while he was praying & the Prophet, SAW, didn't get up for fear of waking/disturbing the cat. This also shows humility. Muslims (& it should be for non-Muslims), it would be blasphemous to say that a Prophet has traits of godliness. Prophets are humans too. There is only one God, Allah, SWT. There is only one divine being. Any miracles given or performed come from the power of Allah...they do not come from the individual Prophet himself.
