Plato, you should look arround to see how proud people's behaviour. Usually these are those people that are very selfish in giving out knowledge to other people so that he could be prominent in the society. They want to be the best among the people that they deal with. They are proud due to they feel that they are superior than other by hiding certain knowledge from them. They thought they are the smartest among the people and they would keep all knowledge by themselves. However, Muhammad is not proud since he was willing to share to others for the revelation that he received from Allah and that is the unique part in which Allah is contented to select him to be the good candidate to spread Islam's teaching to the world. What if ?Allah would select a proud person that he wants to be the best among the people by not sharing the message of Allah to the people so that he could be the only person to be righteous before Allah and that would be the doom of Muslim religion. Thanks to Allah that he has chosen one that is not selfish and proud and is willing to spread the news to the pagans to demand them to repent.
