Brief Explanation
1؎ : The meaning is that these qualities have been granted by Allah Ta'ala to the Prophets (alayhimussalam), therefore, follow them in adopting these traits. It does not mean that prophethood is something composed of parts, and whoever possesses these qualities will possess some portions of prophethood, because prophethood is not something acquired; rather, it is an honor from Allah, and He bestows this honor upon whomever He wills among His servants.
