  As-Salaam alaikum,

   In verse/ayat 4 of chapter 68 of the Holy Qur'an, Surat Qalam, Allah Ta'ala says while speaking about/on His Messenger:--

    "INNAKA LAALA QULKIN AZEEM..Surely you are

     upon a tremendous character.."

 When Sayyada A'isha, may Allah be pleased with her, was asked about the character of the Messenger of Allah, she answered: "His character was the Qur'an". She said that because he was unique in character, and that unique character had to bring together all noble character traits (makarim al-akhlaq).

 Allah described that character as being "TREMENDOUS" just as He described the Qur'an in His words, "THE TREMENDOUS QUR'AN" (15:87)  So the Qur'an is his character, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam.

 If a person in the community of the Messenger who has not met the Messenger of Allah desires th see him, let him look upon the Qur'an. When he looks upon it, there is no difference between looking upon it and looking upon Allah's Messenger. It is as if the Qur'an takes the configuration of a corporeal form which is named Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Ibn Abd al-Muttalib.

 The Qur'an is Allah's Speech and His attribute, so Muhammad in his entirety is the attribute of Allah. "SO HE WHO OBEYS THE MESSENGER, HAS OBEYED ALLAH" (4:80), since "HE DOES NOT SPEAK OUT OF CAPRICE" (53:3), for he is the representative of Allah.
