Abstract :
The great Prophet's figure is reflected deservingly in many of the Persian prose and verse showing how devoted the authors and the poets are to such a dear character. "Kashf-ol-Mahjoob" is one of the great Persian literary masterpieces of the fifth century by Hojviri. He first points to the Quran's verses and then focuses on Prophet's words, manner and attitude. The purpose of this paper is revealing the Prophet's superiorities, emphasizing on his kindness, affection and the necessity for gaining more knowledge about him. To this end, the Prophet Mohammad is compared to other prophets such as Moses, Abraham, and David. Then Prophet Mohammad's morality and behavior, specially his passion and kindness, generosity, spirit for prayer and his mystical attitude in deeds including prayer, fasting, sleep and awakening - all mentioned in Hojviri's book- are surveyed. The results show that the Prophet Mohammad was very kind, affectionate, and generous and had a giving nature. He had a hard-working spirit, seeking and desiring to obey God and he was the person beloved by God.
