Lamartine says about Muhammad

LAMARTINE
, the renowned historian speaking on the essentials of human greatness wonders: "If greatness of purpose, smallness of means and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislation, empires, peoples and dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world,- and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and souls ... his forbearance in victory, his ambition, which was entirely devoted to one idea and in no manner striving for an empire; his endless prayers, his mystic conversations with God, his death and his triumph after death,- all these attest not to an imposture hut to a firm
conviction which gave him the power to restore dogma. This dogma was two-fold, the unity of God and the immateriality of God,- the former telling what God is, the latter telling what God is not,- the one overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other starting an idea with the words. Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images, the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is MUHAMMAD. As regards all the standards by which Human Greatness may he measured, we may well ask, IS THERE ANY MAN GREATER THAN HE?
(Lamartine, Historire de la Turquie, Paris, 1854, Vol. 11, pp. 276-277)

Muhammad (may Allah's blessing be upon him) is the caller of permissiveness in all parts of life which is witnessed by all his behaviors.
